Dungeness Crab Pots

 I have just recently returned from the 2010 International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) annual meeting in Portland, Oregon.  I felt back at home (South Portland, Maine) as I participated in the From Land to Sea-Seafood Tour.  The day was cold and misty as we arrived in Newport, Oregon to tour shrimp boats, tuna trollers, and boats that set up to 500 Dungeness crab pots.  It was still Dungeness crab season even though most of the catch was done.  And there were fresh Dungeness crab in the storage hold of this boat (pictured to the left) which were the source of the crab steamed for lunch!  What could be fresher?!   And it was a treat to see fresh sturgeon fillets being sold at the fish market Local Ocean!
