For some, the holidays begin early, when stores march out their Christmas displays. Others mark the start of the season with the planning of Thanksgiving.

And yet for others, it begins with crab.

On Friday, hundreds of fishermen launched boats off the California coast to snag sweet, tender Dungeness crab. They hauled it to shore as early as Saturday night, providing customers in the region with a long-awaited feast.
Saturday was the first day anglers can reel in the crustacean south of Mendocino County.
“Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, crab — it’s perfect,” said Allen Kuehn, owner of the San Francisco Fish Co. at the Embarcadero, who hopes to be selling fresh crab by Monday. “It’s part of the tradition this time of year. San Francisco is blessed to have it.”
The Dungeness — whether boiled, grilled, roasted or fried — will soon be a staple at seafood markets, a centerpiece on menus, and grounds for household celebration in the city and beyond.
