Dungeness crab season has arrived. The commercial season for most of the state began Nov. 15, and the crabs are landing in Bay Area stores.

According to industry-wide predictions, this is expected to be a good year for the beloved crustaceans. You can check out more details on how the 2018 season is shaping up, check out Tara Duggan’s coverage here.
