U-Catch Crab Feast 

One of the best things about living in the Northwest is feasting on the succulent Dungeness crab you just caught.  There are few other worldly pleasures that can compare.

 

Now, you can partake in this exciting and mouth-watering experience.  For a limited time only, Camano Culinary Creations is offering to transport you above the briny deep aboard the Cangrejo (crab catching vessel) piloted by a licensed US Coast Guard Captain. There you can observe and take part in catching your very own live Dungeness crab.  Next you will return to shore, cook the crab and enjoy a leisurely lunch in a garden setting.


What to Expect

All trips will depart and return to the Maple Grove boat launching facility on the North Shore of Camano Island.  Life vests are provided.  The boat will be launched from the public boat ramp and boarded from the beach.  Be sure you wear appropriate footwear...you might get your feet wet.  You need no previous experience; you don’t even need a fishing license!  When the boat returns to shore, you will travel a short distance by car to the Switzer’s home where you will cook your crab and enjoy a leisurely lunch amid the splendor of Sole Switzer’s spectacular garden (her pride and joy).
