The ODA and ODFW have announced Thursday that recreational crab harvesting is now open in Oregon from the Columbia River to the California border.
It is always recommended you eviscerate the crab and discard the “butter” (viscera or guts) prior to cooking. When whole crab are cooked in liquid, domoic acid may leach into the cooking liquid. It is recommended you discard the cooking liquid, and do not use it in other dishes, such as sauces, broths, soups, stews, stocks, roux, dressings, etc. The consumption of crab viscera is not recommended.
Both ODA and ODFW will be continuing to minor biotoxin levels in crab and shellfish in the meantime, making sure that “concentrations remain below the closure limit.”
