for the "Hairy Leg" Crab from China though, the egg yolk inside the main shell is teh sh1t.

Oh, come on-the lungs are delicious.

How much is Costco selling its cooked crab for?

In Atlanta, whole dungeness crab usually sells for $4-6 per pound. It was $5.99/ lb this past weekend. Cheapest I bought it for was $4/ lb.

Alaskan King Crab legs go for $8 - $12/ lb. It was $7.99 /lb this weekend and for the past month but legs were tiny. It looked more like snow crab legs than king crab. You have to wait until winter when the legs are big. It's usually around $10-11 /lb in the wintertime but it's worth it. If you buy by the 20/lb case, it's usually about a dollar/ lb cheaper. Case is great for parties.

Lobster tails are usually $24- $26/ lb.

little known fact: crabs in baltimore are mostly from texas and louisiana.

It's true. It's tough to find crabs that meet size regulations in the bay.

This thread makes me long for some good ole steamed hard shell crabs. Seasoned with Old Bay, of course.
