Fish tale

Dungeness crabs scuttle over sandy bays, and California chose them as its state crustacean in 2024. California's Rose Bowl is one of only two stadiums to host both a men's and a women's World Cup final.

Island story

On Futbol Island the dungeness crab can be caught at:

  • Sunset Shoals: Shallow sandy shoals on the south-west shore, south of the stadium, where the sun sets over the sea. Flatfish lie hidden in the sand, crabs scuttle about, and leopard sharks glide over the shallows.

Size on the island: 15–23 cm.
