Baltimore Crabs Get More Expensive 0
Baltimore witnesses its crab prices reach an all time high as, this season, it may not be possible for many of the Marylanders to afford what is the state’s most loved seafood though some of the customers are still ready to buy a dozen of steamed crabs for $60-$80. The owner of the Crab House of Obrycki, Rob Cernak, opines that he has restricted the rise in prices at his renowned restaurant at East Baltimore where $59 is charged for a dozen of large crabs, just like the last year. There is a feeling in him that says that it will be difficult to get any potential customer if the price is raised even further.
However, on the other hand, many of the crab houses are taking advantage of the situation. The average rise in the price of crabs at the largest crab houses in the Greater Baltimore is 5%, which leads it to $58.90. Bo Brooks raised its process to $108 from $42 for every dozen of crabs this year while they had raised it to $85 from $55 last year. Sea King Market now charges $66 in comparison with its last year’s price of $60.
There is a popular idea floating around that one must pay higher if good crabs are expected in return. There is no way people are going to get the crabs at the same price like the one they had last year. However, the price was high even last year, though not so much as this year’s soaring prices. Even though there has been a process of recovery, the projected image for 2010 is not as bright as it might have been expected.
