I'm allowed 1 bushel/day with my $20/year crabbing license. This year was exceptional and I could catch a bushel in 2 hours. Live #1 crabs retail for $150- $300/ bushel this year. Served steamed in the 4-5 star restaurants they fetch $8 to $10 per crab. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-series don 8,720 #6 Posted September 20, 2021 Here on eastern Long Island in the back bays and channels and ponds if you know where to look, blue claw crabs 🦀 this time of year are in abundance. Crabbing at night with a light in a flat bottom John boat and a net and of course beer! Sorry no pictures! They are are a bit of work to get the meat out but it’s worth it and half the fun sitting around with family doing it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,828 #7 Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) Your a sorry sob Ed .. only time I got them is when they hopped down on the bunks above me on the sub. Now you gotta go taunting us with the edible variety. Although there was one time when we went to Pompeii Smash crab fest in MD.....

Don't know why? We used to go out regularly and do so on the Navesink near Red Bank. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 38,216 #9 Posted September 20, 2021 I tried the night crabbin thing a few years back. The skeeters bit better than the crabs. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeM 7,874 #10 Posted September 20, 2021 Went down the inner harbor last month to see the Angles play at Candem Yards. Of course we stopped on the way at GM Restaurant and got some Crab cakes, and cream of crab soup, and steak.......well anyway spent a little time out there when our company had their corp. offices in Baltimore. There is not much here in SWPA that even comes close to those crab joints out there. Real lumps in those cakes! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, even in Maryland, not all crab cakes are Jumbo Lump cakes. Places like G&M are well-known to make "real" crab cakes, not wanna be's. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last steamed crabs I had were at my house in June. We paid $49 per dozen for small/mediums. Just checked current prices over the weekend and found the same dozen to be $59. The price difference is not because of a lack of crabs, but a lack of pickers due to covid restrictions. I guess I will have to get a licence and pull out the crabbing gear. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
