  • About
The origin of Crab Louis has lots of entries. Because of where Dungeness resides, the Northwest—from San Francisco to Vancouver—was its birthplace, probably sometime around the mid-nineteenth century.

Refrigerated railcars made both crab and fresh produce more widely available. And by the early twentieth century, crab with lettuce and other veggies and ingredients made it a delicious luxury dish all over the country. An article in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer from the 1930s declared, “A trip to Seattle without a feast of crab à la Louis is like Paris without the Eiffel Tower.”
