Catch and Cook Crabbing Class

Learn to catch live crab under the Golden Gate Bridge, then steam and crack it with butter on the spot.



4 hours Location Bellingham Class size 1 to 4 (public classes), 4 to 10   $130

Catch your own crab under San Francisco’s iconic Golden Gate Bridge, then steam it up and crack it with hot drawn butter and lemon! You’ll spend the day learning how to catch live crab right out of the Bay before setting up a cooking station nearby to enjoy your fresh catch. Doesn’t get much fresher than that!
Over around four hours, you’ll learn the basics of crab fishing, including casting, reeling, effective techniques, and the gear used. All the equipment you need is included, including one rod and reel per person, one snare per guest, a crab net, bait, weights, a crab measuring gauge, 35 lb test monofilament line, and a snap swivel.
Just keep in mind that fishing can be hit or miss, and the number of crabs caught can vary from day to day. While catches aren’t guaranteed, the experience is focused on learning the skill of crab fishing, putting the techniques into practice, and understanding mindful fishing regulations. With a little effort, patience, and luck, the hope is to catch as many crabs as possible during your time on the Bay!
