Crabs in Orlando FL

[SHELLFISH]

I was in Orlando FL this past weekend and stopped at a Cajun restaurant for some gumbo. It wasn't great!
I saw on the menu board they were selling large steamed Blue Crabs for $55.00 an dozen. A few of the tables were eating them!
Just saying!  What are restaurant prices up north?

I recently paid $65/dozen for jumbos at Capt John's Crab House (Cobb Island)

They were charging $7.50 per large crab at Woody's Crab house.  I was not impressed.  Seemed like the joint sold a lot of king crabs/crab cakes and such though.  My daughter's steak and fries were really good though.

Over here in Tampa blue crabs are going for about $4.00 to $5.00 a pound.  Not sure just what that averages out to per dozen as it varies.  Seems like a lot since they mostly are small, which I don't care for.  As a former Marylander I really miss the days of getting a dozen where they were mostly all between 8" to 9" point to point.

The avg bushel weighs 40 - 45lbs so at $5/lb the bushel would be between $200 - $225.  In the spring time, that is the avg going rate for a bushel here in MD.  Today, you can get bushels for as little as $100 since the supply is high and the demand is low.
