I was born about 100 miles north of HQ and my father brought live crab home from Baltimore on weekends. $5.00 a bushel back in the mid to late 50's. The last I bought was $175.00 a bushel in the 80's sometime and they had gotten a lot smaller. They say they are dying out because of chemical runoff from farms. The last time had crab was 1997, my cousin lived on a tributary to the bay and the man down the road was a crabber and dropped a bushel off at her house on the way home. Her brother lived in Baltimore and did crab feast catering on weekends so we had our cook on hand.
