Price of Crabs

[zoomzoom]

Thought it might be helpful if people could post the cost of crabs and where they saw the price. Might help some of us save a few $$$$ this summer.

Thanks

Dad and them always go to H. Gass in Hollywood, they really like the way the taste. The price always changes though. Me personally can't stand the things so can be of no help to ya!

We went to Capt. D Ray's a few weeks back and they were $28 a dozen then. Market fluctuates though. Best to call around.

Looking to get a bushel for the weekend and I saw some #2 males in Leonardtown for $75 a bushel I think. Wondering if this is high or low.

The prices fluctuate even more with bushels bought from seafood joints. Number twos seem to fluctuate between $60 and $80; Numbers ones $80 to $125. Shymansky's at Cobb Island are $25 a dozen and $27 for all you can eat. I think most restaurants are $25 to $30 a dozen right now, but that will go up as summer rolls along and crabs get scarce.

I paid $75 for a half bushel of "#1's" from CrabKnockers on July 4th. The clerk told me they group them by weight now rather than size. They tasted great (no Tony the Tiger impression), but most were small in both size and weight.

It won't be long until we've emptied the bay.

Went to Capt Johns on Cobb Island yesterday and got all you can eat for $25. Crabs were good size (#2 to #1) and most were pretty full. Best of all they get all the mess!

Found an interesting site on the topic.
