Born and raised in SF! Good for the crabbers. There is always a “hold out” because the crabbers get lowballed for their catch…say a few dollars a pound. The mark up is huge! Pay them for their product! FOB is the best! 10 a pound is absolutely reasonable. If not the Chinese markets have the best price. Deal direct and cut out the middle man!

[@msbrownbeast]

Fisherman's Wharf in SF is a tourist trap and a ripoff. Was there 10 years ago, and they were charging $30 for a dead (i.e. cooked) dungeness crab. Could not been much over 1 1/2 lbs. It was way more expensive than out East (where I live) and the dungeness crab is from the West coast - go figure. If you want crab at a good price, avoid this tourist trap and go to Chinatown on Stockton, where you will find the best prices hands down.

What are you talking about? It is already cheap. The fisherman probably sell it cheaper to the whole seller around $4 a pound. But so what? By the time, we get them it is a lot higher. And these fishermen need to stay in business. So what, if you think it is a buck or two higher? When these guys stay in business longer, we can expect the inflation to make its price a lot more attractive.
