Default Jumbo Lump Crab Prices!???

The last time I bought a pound of blue jumbo lump crab meat was last year
for about $21. At the seafood market in town today it's $29.

At the Whole Foods market in Devon today it was selling for $35!!!

I asked the employee behind the counter if it was a typo and she laughed
and said no.

On the web it's anywhere from $33 - $55!

That's highway robbery!

This CAN'T be the Katrinna Effect! It's almost all from Maryland!??
What's the price in your area?

I understand it's hard to get such large lumps of crab, but no harder
than last year or the year before...

The BUMS!!!
