Dungeness crab fisherman on the Hecate Strait are calling this season the most abundant in more than two decades.
Some fisherman on the shallow strip between Haida Gwaii and the northcoast are reporting hauls worth north of six figures.
Those working on the docks, unloading the shellfish, are also reporting a constant flow of shipments heading both in and out of Prince Rupert.
Dungeness crabs are most frequently harvested using pots or traps and are considered a sustainable seafood choice, and an alternative to many endangered relatives.
