I've gotten bushels of crabs from a place in the Camden/Gloucester area but I can't remember exactly where it was or if it's still there. Anyone know a place that has good prices for bushels of crabs in the South Jersey area?

Not an actual crab shack, but an older couple sits out on the roadside on rte 347 on the weekends in the summer. Last year they were charging $20 a dozen I think for number ones. Location is on 347 (old Buck Shootem Road) near 550 cross roads. Bring a cooler or baskets and stop and get some!
