Why Are All Of Yall Whining About The Cost Of Crab?

[texastweeter]

I see the pricing yall post, and it's nuts. While this is on sale, it's NEVER what I see yall post.

[Panhead John]

Basically, we’re just old and like to bitch.

[texastweeter]

That shut me up right there, hahaha

[Panhead John]

Now, get off my f’ing lawn!

[texastweeter]

I shoot back

[Steve B]

That is cheap. But those are snow crabs which are considerably cheaper than kings. I think the snows are usually around $24-28 a pound when not on sale here.

[Panhead John]

Nothing compares to king crab legs IMO. 😋

[Mosca]

Idk. It’s pretty close here, this is the every day price.

[Spinaker]

If I wasn’t allergic, I’d care.

[texastweeter]

It's all in yer head, lol. (Said ever coach I ever had)

[Spinaker]

hahahaha, and they ain't wrong brother!

Snow crab is not very good crab. They sell it cheap up at my Ralph's too. I just went today and picked up 5 live ~2 lb. Dungeness crabs @6.99 lb. Steamed them and then plunged them into a cooler with ice water. Gonna sit down to chilled Dungeness crab tonight with a squirt of lemon and mayo.

Mayo and crab probably does not sound all that great to most people. But I grew up on it and it is one of my favorites. I guess it's kinda like ketchup on hot dogs. Not for everyone

[hoovarmin]

Sounds damned good to me. And Dungeness is the King

[Jfrosty27]

Sounds great to me too. I lived in the San Francisco area for about a year. 2014-15. Dungeness was available everywhere for reasonable prices and I got kind of hooked on it. So good. Been back here in WI over 8 years and haven’t had crab of any kind. Just not a thing here.

[Jerod Broussard]

Desert crab, rain crab, tornado crab, hurricane crap, beat the crap out of any snow crab.

[Panhead John]

What exactly is hurricane crap? 😵💫

[Jerod Broussard]

Panhead John not sure but watch the clip of Bridesmaids at the wedding dress shop

[texastweeter]

I don't eat crab enough to know what one's are better. I know king is the big ones, and I think Dungeness is the spiny ones. Maybe I need to go to a good crab restaurant and get educated.

[Panhead John]

Whatever you do, don’t get the groin crabs.

[texastweeter]

There is a story there Panhead John

[MsTwiggy]

Dungeness are the GOAT crabs 🦀. There is a reason the crab emoji is a Dunge. . . 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀😎 🔥🔥🐿️

[HawkerXP]

Stone crab last week in Florida $39 per pound.
that equals 3 medium claws.

can you say “expense it!”

[HawkerXP]

Was good. MsTwiggy

[smokenoob]

Years ago we were anchored in Indian Key Pass (Everglades) and bought 100 lbs of stone crab claws for $450 right off a passing crab boat. I can almost still taste it 😁

[HawkerXP]

I just hope I don't get called for a random drug test...

[RichieB]

Wait, I've never had crabs. Oh, sorry wrong thread.

[Donw]

The original king crab post stated it was Alaskan. Good. Yours lists Canadian sourced. Good. However a lot of discount King, Snow and Blue crab found for sale would speak with a Spanish or English accent, if crabs could talk.

If you ever see Phillips brand crab meat here is a little secret, Brice and Shirley started Phillips here in our town on the Eastern Shore. Their packing houses were here on the Chesapeake Bay. Brice and Shirley produced an excellent product but their packing houses are all closed now that they have passed. While the name and brand continues if their crabs could talk they would be speaking Filipino.

[Spinaker]

Why is everyone so crabby today? You are all being clawful! We are gonna look back on this and realize how shellarious we all are for acting this way. We should all be shellabrating these great prices!

[Spinaker]

The whole state would burn! 😂 texastweeter

[texastweeter]

I'd have one hell of a night out with you just for giggles, then stage an intervention. Lol

[Spinaker]

I’d be like, wait what? I thought we going for bloody’s, steak and eggs and the VFW. WTF? texastweeter

[MsTwiggy]

texastweeter I know why you are at the fish counter. It’s Fishday, I mean Friyay, I mean Friday. Whats in your dreams for normal food on Sunday. What will your fancy be?? The anticipation is killing me (jeopardy theme music 🎶) 🔥🔥🐿️

[texastweeter]

We have that marinated ribeye some jackass ( Panhead John ) talked a lot of us into cooking. Other than that, I'm gonna have a baked tater loaded up, and a salad with Olive Garden dressing...or maybe I'll do Lighthouse Chunky Blue Cheese dressing. Oh and probably a roll with butter.

[FireMan]

Just remember bout the recent post of the fisherman who went missin, when the three Maryland Marine officers came to break the news to the wife the bad news, good news and great news. If’n any ya’ll missed it the bad news was the woman’s husband drowned the first officer reported. The second officer told the good news, that they found the body, than told her when they pulled him up he was covered with fifty crabs. She tearfully asked what the great news was and the third officer grinned and said in two days they were goin to pull him up again.

After much practice, I just had to. 🦀🙃

[texastweeter]

These were THOSE crabs!!! Ahhhh, it all makes sense now.

[smokenoob]

I’m not a fan of grass fed beef either…..

[synodog]

Way back when Vegas had inexpensive all you can eat seafood buffet we would tear up the crab legs. my buddies and I would head up on a random day and eat at certain casino restaurants and head home the next day or whenever we were done stuffing our faces.

[HawkerXP]

Used to do that at the Chesapeake Bay Seafood House.
All you can eat crab legs for $18. Shove those hushpuppies and fries away. More legs!

[TripleB]

In my youth, I bartended at a really good fish restaurant. They had a special once a week on all you could eat snow crab. My brother and I did the special one week. The waitress comes over to take our order and we tell her, “no salad, no soup and no potatoes….just keep bringing us crab when the bowl is empty”. We were there for 4 hours. Man we ate a lot of crab that night.
