Testimonies

Eighty five year old crabber, Stan wrote, “Thanks for a great book, Bill…..It answers all my questions and much more.  I’ll be using box traps off my boat in Winchester Bay for a while.  Thanks, again, Stan”

Derek from Eugene writes, “Hey William, I wanted to just thank you for the new “crab max” traps that we received. We love them and they work great. Also the book “Oregon Crabs” is filled with helpful information. Thanks again Derek in Eugene”

The book Oregon’s Crabs was the first publication in the NW to stress the importance of backing and cleaning crabs as soon as possible after being caught to minimize contamination of the body meat by marine toxins.

In today’s environment, it is vital to back and clean the crabs immediately after being caught during periods with elevated Marine Toxins. Generally, Dungeness crabs are safe to eat up to 2 hours after death.

In Today’s environment, the crab’s powerful gastric fluids containing marine toxins can penetrate the body meat in the crab’s honeycomb cartilage. This problem is eliminated by cleaning the crab by backing it as soon as they are caught. Of course, this is a moot point and unnecessary when the ocean water is free from marine toxins. Always check the Shellfish Hotline before crabbing or digging clams. The importance of the accuracy of the Shellfish Hotline cannot be overstated.
