crab season
When traps fill
Crab season is the period when harvesting crabs is legally permitted, varying by species and location.
Commercial crabbing is tightly regulated to protect populations during molting and mating.
The term also refers informally to peak availability in markets and restaurants: Dungeness crab season starts in November.
We always have a crab feast during crab season.
