How long does the Opilio crab season last?
Seasonality: The Alaskan season opens in January and lasts until a pre-described quota is caught (typically one month). Russian opilio is caught from September through December on a quota system, and Canada’s seasons in Quebec, New Brunswick and Newfoundland run from May through August on a quota system. From this snippet I take it that the season may also be shortened if the quota is reached early. This page also had good information about the nutritional value of Opilio, it’s flavor and various serving suggestions. I hope this information has helped you out.
