A friend that fished red king crab last month paid $50 lb for cooked and boxed from the processor they delivered to. That’s basically at cost.In the stores it’s $65-80 lb. Dock prices are high. I heard crewshares on the brown crab boats ( golden king crab) were upwards of 400K last season. Only a handful of boats have the permits for that fishery and quotas are high. Browns live deep-3-400 fathoms, on very steep edges so they are less susceptible to trawl net bycatch
