Here in the Northwest, we get to enjoy the bounty of Dungeness crab all year long.
Cracking open a freshly steamed crab is an occasion to celebrate, especially in the summer months. But for convenience, our Seafood Department makes it easy to savor the flavor of already-shelled, chunks of tender, sweet crabmeat that’s ready to eat and recipe ready.
One of our favorite ways to showcase the unmatched flavor of crab is in a sandwich paired with Northwest-grown heirloom tomatoes, fresh-baked sourdough artisan bread from our bakery, light creamy dressings, and of course plenty of crab!
Celebrate this very special season with your own Crab & Tomato Sandwich Bar that’s perfect for a crowd, and enjoy the local harvest!
