MONTEREY, Calif. (KION) Central Coast families celebrating Thanksgiving with Dungeness crab instead of turkey will need to make other plans this year.

The City of Monterey said the Monterey Bay Fisheries Trust is a helpful place to find seafood alternatives and recipe suggestions. You can check out the website here.
