We visited Newport 2 years ago, but cut the trip short because of my gallbladder surgery. Yipeeee to getting that done! I feel great now and can eat clam chowder without pain! I loved the marina and bayfront and wanted to see the fishing boats again. I was on a mission to find live Dungeness crab and we did. 
We thought about borrowing crab traps from the TT park and getting a crabbing license, but when we found the fresh crab for $6 a pound we'd found dinner. We'd gone crabbing years ago when we were on the east coast and we'd gathered oysters, mussels and clams while staying on Quadra Island off Canada so not a big deal. But this was easier. We just had to walk on the pier to the boat for crab this time.
We boiled the big guy (2+ pounds) with a little sea salt and it was so yummy with some melted butter, rice and a salad. I'd say it was better than the snow crab we get at the Vegas casinos! We're going to take a trip to Garibaldi and get some more. Gotta have more crab.
