How to Get a Dungeness Crab in Animal Crossing
To snag a Dungeness Crab in Animal Crossing, you're gonna need to dive into the ocean, not fish from the shore! Equip yourself with a wet suit (buy it from Nook's Cranny or get it from the cabinet at the Nook Stop terminal), head into the ocean, and press A to dive when you see bubbles. Dungeness Crabs aren't super rare, but they're only around from November to May (Northern Hemisphere) or May to November (Southern Hemisphere), so make sure you're diving in the right months!

Just keep swimming, and diving! Seriously, it's all about persistence. Make sure you're diving during the months the Dungeness Crab is available in your game's hemisphere. After a bunch of dives, you're bound to catch one. Remember, it鈥檚 all about being in the right place at the right time.
Luck is key, but so is timing. If you're not finding one, just keep trying. The Dungeness Crab will show up eventually.
