Inflation

Went to grocery store last evening; fresh Alaska King Crab legs were $59.79 per pound. I thought it was a misprint, but apparently it wasn't. Now we don't have a lot of crab fishermen in Oklahoma, but Hamburger is only $3.99 per pound and bone in rib eyes are $10.99.

I bought fresh fish today from the fisherman. Not sure what we pay, maybe $12 per pound.

$60 a pound for crab?!? How many pounds did you buy?

None. I quickly averted my eyes, backed away, and headed for the hamburger and bologna. Oh, I did buy three cans of sardines at $1.00 apiece; makes the dog's coats nice and shiny.

I just checked the link you posted, and it showed $43 and change/lb. Still way out of my budget, but quite a bit lower than you quoted. Not a real big seafood guy myself (maybe fried clams once in a while), but crab has always been very expensive. Most people seem to dump so much butter on it, it's surprising they can even taste the crab. Same goes for lobster.

Hu, didn't know they had Alaska King Crab in Michigan.
