Hi everyone Wink I'm new on here and to the blue crab world, an I had a question I was hoping some of you guys can help with; make a long story short my parents retired and decided to start crabbing, a "friend" mentioned to them about this new venture, how easy it would be, being your own boss, financial gain blah bla blah.. So they moved from up north to Mississippi, used their savings to buy a boat, traps, rv, etc. Well I came to check on them an see what this "new" business was all about, I see that they are getting the hang of it, they enjoy the water, heck I even like it a bit Wink ONLY problem is selling them! The friend with the great idea said there were alot of companies that will buy crabs, you get em off your hands easy.....DOG POO! That's our only issue, I place an ad for my parents crabs but they can only sell but so much a day, and they average bout 5-8boxes daily, Some lady from Atl comes to buy once a week but sometimes she is not even consistent, so what could we do with all these crabs?? Any suggestions on what to do or where to sell them? Ps. BE NICE!

Thanks and Stay Blessed

Are the packing houses 'googleable' ?? And I should have mentioned driving is an option just not sure where to go with em that would make it worth the gas expense-thanks again!
