Just wondering what other chefs are doing with the increasing crab prices due to shortages of the Indonesian Blue Swimming Crab.
 
Move to the west coast a convert to dungeness? Sorry couldn't resist.
 
That hasn't hit the gulf coast yet. I don't usually start buying blue crabs whole until the middle of May, and picked until crawfish season ends, or the price dramatically drops, whichever comes first. I haven't been watching the prices, I'll ask my guy this week.
 
+1 for Dungeness Crab. Last year it was $2.99/Lb...safeway was giving it away.
 
Backfin prices are on the rise as well. Anyone have a good source for Dungeness that would ship to the east coast?
 
California Dungeness crab season is basically over. If you want fresh cooked Dungeness crab, look to Oregon. Nearly all of the stuff in California is frozen.
