Nope, they were there on ice on a marble slab, labelled Dungeness
Crabs, they certainly were not imported and there has been a problem
with them since the EU and more unrestricted fishing around the area.
I know you can get them in the Pacific N/W, remember looking at an ad
for them but decided having one shipped was going to be just too
expensive. The pic of it was identical to the ones I knew,
reddishbrown and creamy colour. Massive claws and light and dark meat
within.
Don't worry, am trying to think of anyone I can email to try and prove
it.
