So they charge by the “each” and not the “pound.”?
They’re sold by the “each” in SF.

Yeah, and they go up every year (as everything does, I guess). When I first starting cooking them at home, they were $5/each. And it doesn’t seem like that long ago.

Finally had my first soft shells at a local seafood restaurant, prepared simply meuniere style. They were delish with a glass of white wine. The owner shared that prices had come down to $5 & change, at wholesale.

Yes, soft shells are showing up all over metro NY right now. Averaging about $9. per crab at markets. Also saw them lined up for sale at Faidley’s at the Old Lexington Market in Baltimore on a recent trip thru. But had to have their famous baseball sized crab cake instead. Enjoyed a fried crabcake sandwich with the works at The Boathouse in Annapolis during the same trip. Delish!
