'Tis the season for cracking into crabs, but Maryland vendors worry their supply will be stretched thin for the Fourth of July weekend.
While the loveable crustaceans have been plentiful this summer, they could run scarce as demand goes up around Independence Day.
That could push up prices or force restaurants to serve non-Maryland crabs.
The Baltimore Sun is reporting a bushel of male crabs could top $200 in some places.
Here they go, speculating. We all know what happens when the speculators get going!
ReplyDeletehaha, or you can just go to the docks and get a bushel for less than 100$. Remember folks, what you pay at the store, is not what the crabber gets paid. Do the smart thing, go straight to the crabber. You'll get em fresher, and it won't hurt the wallet as much!
