A kind of crab
About
The Dungeness crab is a Pacific crustacean that typically measures 6 to 7 inches (150 to 180 mm) across its shell.
Cooked Dungeness crab meat has a bulk density of about 8.3 pounds per gallon (1 g/mL). A standard 1-cup measure holds roughly 8.4 ounces (237 g), fitting closely together without large air pockets. Whole adults commonly reach shell widths of 6 to 7 inches (150 to 180 mm) along the Pacific coast. Its density is very similar to other wet seafoods such as lobster or shrimp meat.
