[ Sorry in advance for the wide dist, I can't find one for "mid-atlantic states". ]

I'm going to be getting some crabs (pre-steamed) for a get-together in a couple
of weeks, and was wondering where I might go to get the little beasties.  I'm looking
for places with decent crabs and decent prices.

A couple of years ago I got a bushel of larges for $80 (gakk).  I think this was
over-priced, but it was local and short notice.  Recently a friend got his from
Rockville (forget the place) and got half/half medium/large for $55.  That's a bit
more reasonable, IMHO.

I'll probably be looking for a few dozen to 1/2 bushel.  Any suggestions on places
that provide decent carry-out crabs for a decent price?

Replies to my e-mail appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
David
