First of the Year

And they were tasty.

Did you bring enough for everyone?

Hope you caught 'em and didn't have to buy 'em . . . prices are crazy $$$ :-(

$$$ is right.

Yeah, grading crabs because of the points length is like grading the amount of meat you get by the length of a deer's antlers.

I think permission to keep evolved into “grading”.

Agree but ya can't eat "points" I remember a true bushel of #1's being approx. 46 > 48 crabs and ya had a hard time getting the lid on the basket. #1's today are more like what used to be #2's.

Save a lot of sorting if a bushel was by weight. lol

Yes, indeed that would work.

Back in the day a bushel of # 1's Miles River crabs would never have 50 in them, mid to high 40's and 7" and up... don't know if it's still like that, I'm guessing it's not.

It's not :-(

That beer is good too.
