Is it legal to catch and cook crab out on your boat while you're crabbing?

Yes, and if you are getting grief for it from a local warden let me know.

You are still limited to 10 dungeness per day, even if you cook a few of them on the boat those still count against your daily limit.

Thanks for the clarification. I've heard of people doing that but thought it was a little sketchy.

It's only sketchy if it's high seas with no butter or lemon... :smt006
