Yes, crab lovers, there will be Dungeness for the holiday season.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has declared that the San Francisco Bay commercial crab fishing season may start as scheduled.
With clear weather predicted for Thursday, Nov. 15, boats have pulled out of San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf, Pillar Point Harbor on the San Mateo County coast, Monterey Bay and points south to set traps in advance of the 12:01 a.m. start.
Fishing from Bodega Bay north to the Sonoma/Mendocino county line, however, has been put on hold for now because of high levels of the toxin called domoic acid found in crabs tested from those waters.
