That is really expensive and I would not pay that much. Does any of your local seafood places have them? Maybe try some of the other species til prices drop. Dungeness crabs, stone crabs ect. Anyone ever have mud crabs? They are like a monster blue claw.
I crab and we have 4 commercial traps. The crabbing has been terrible the last few years. I have a couple theories. There has been a ton of rays in NJ. I see schools of hundreds. I think rays have cleaned out the crabs. I also see lots of evasive crabs that I never saw before.
