Is It Really Crab Season? O.K. Where Do you Get Them?

[richard Rothman]

I felt like a sucker paying $40 for a cracked crab at Dungeness Island in the Richmond (SF) district.
So I called Nick's in Far Rockaway and they're $35. Where's the justice?

If you know about any bargain (or should I say sane) prices for crabby treats, I'd love to hear about them.
