The annual Kamchatka crab festival is held in October in Vladivostok and other 25 cities across Russia. Launched by the Zuma restaurant in Vladivostok, the festival’s original aim was to get more people to know about local food and offer them a cheaper bite . The largest parts of the crab are usually sold boiled and frozen, which is necessary, as crabs need to be stored on ships for months. When well prepared for the market, Kamchatka crabs are considered one of the best in the world.
