$200 a bushel for non-bay crabs? Heck, maybe I should ship ya'll some of our Texas blue crabs... A couple of chicken necks and some nets and I'll have 'ya a bushel in no time. If you like hunting more than fishing, just walk down the piers and if you walk real quiet, you can scoop them off the floats. When we moved to Louisiana (in 1960) we found blue crabs were incredibly cheap there compared to the Chesapeake. Of course we had to get my MIL to ship us some Old Bay - all they had there on the Gulf was Crab Boil or Shrimp Boil. Yuk. There is a blue crab drought in the Chesapeake this year - it isn't always like this. We are paying about $30 a dozen for cooked hard crabs here close to the source, and it's much more up in Baltimore. grandma Rosalie |
