Crabs are Plentiful On Delmarva

Demand for crabs is good.

Danny Webster, a waterman from Deal Island, described the supply as overwhelming.

He told the Salisbury Daily Times that down in Somerset County there are more crabs than the market can stand.

Meanwhile, the manager at Higgins Crab House in Ocean City John Oleksak told the paper that there are so many crabs they had to lower their prices on bushels and half bushels by $10.

And in West Ocean City the manger at Hooper’s Crab House, Patrick Brady, said the crabs are a lot heavier than usual.
