The buttery sauce that coats the crab meat and the shells are part of the pleasure of this dish. To really enjoy it, dispense with the utensils and just eat the crab with your hands. Serve with a green salad and plenty of crusty sourdough bread. These large crabs are prized for their sweet, tender meat. They're named for Dungeness, Washington,
