It all depends on the size of the crabs and whether they are male or female. A bushel of mixed females will run you are least $100 and a bushel of large males somewhere around $200.00 plus Not sure where to purchase them in NoVa I usually get from Captain White at the Maine St Fish Market or Shoreline in Crofton MD

Try Captain Pell's in Fairfax. Not sure what the going rate is, but give a call.

I always love a side order of their fried oysters -- outstanding!

Crosby's in Manassas. www.crosbyscrabco.com. A friend got a bushel last week at Blue Ridge Seafood in Gainesville-large males were $191.00/bushel. www.blueridgeseafood.net. They are a restaurant, but also sell retail seafood.
