Crab prices have been rising steadily, with a recent report during 4th of July weekend here on the Shore of bushels of live crabs going for over $200. I'm surprised no one has a website tracking the fluctuations.

What do they cost where you live?

Two weekends ago in Ocean City (MD) a dozen large crabs was $54. It's crazy. I spoke to a couple watermen loading pots onto their boats up on the Sassafras River last Thursday. They were getting $80 at the dock, which is a LOT. However, they were having trouble finding reliable buyers. The price is so high that the market is saturated right now. This should drive down the prices before too long.

Any dish you make will only taste as good as the ingredients you put into it. If you use poor quality meats, old herbs and tasteless winter tomatoes I don’t even want to hear that the lasagna recipe I gave you turned out poorly. You're a cook, not a magician.
