After church today I had a nice meal with my cousin, his wife and my wife. He just returned from his 65th High School Reunion in Maryland. Forty five classmates attended the reunion.
Of course since he was in Maryland we started talking about Maryland crab cakes which are some of the best in the world. Apparently according to the discussion he had with the restaurant owner blue crabs are getting very expensive. A bushel costs about $350.00 and you have to pick them A lb of processed crab is $79.00. Crabs were so scarce they were shipping them up from Florida. The crabs he ate up there probably came only a few miles from where he lives.
We use to catch them using chicken necks and a string and could fill up a bushel in about a half hour. If you look around prices are going up by the day. I would say we are in inflation. I doubt things get any better for a long time
