Dungeness Crab
Dungeness crab season typically runs from mid-November to July, with the catch slowing down in late winter. Some say that Dungeness crab is a little saltier than blue crab, which is generally considered sweeter.
Dungeness crab is sweet and delicate and can be eaten hot or cold. You can buy live crabs to prepare yourself or have them boiled for you. Dip crab meat in hot butter as a main dish or create a delicious crab meat dip for crackers or pita chips.
If serving as an entree, a typical serving of Dungeness Crab is 1 pound per adult at a price of $25 per pound. To purchase fresh Dungeness Crab, you can call in your order at a local store and they will clean and cook the crab for you. We usually call the seafood department at QFC at 990 E. Washington Street, Sequim, WA 98382 or go into the store and speak with their seafood department personnel.

The Oak Table Cafe
3rd and Bell Street
Sequim, WA 98382
Mary and Billy Nagler opened the original Oak Table Café in Sequim, Washington in 1981. They learned the restaurant business from Billy’s parents, Ann and Henry back in Chicago. There they picked up the principles of hospitality while working alongside Billy and Mary’s parents, Joe and Alice, and Mary’s brother, Billy Zuzich. Billy Z. joined the crew early on and has been an integral part of helping run the café and eventually being brought on as owner in 2023. Fast forward to the third generation: Billy and Mary’s three children, Nikki, Kory, and Casey took up the torch to win the hearts and appetites of the folks in this beautiful river valley and went on to open their own restaurants in Washington. Their children grew up learning their parents’ philosophy of nurturing their guests, and the belief that every guest should have an outstanding and memorable experience. As they matured, they brought in their mates, Ross, Rachel, and Taria; who joined in the pursuit of making excellent food and giving warm caring service.
