Coming to town this weekend for a few days. Been a long time since I have lived there, but I am on a mission. I am craving some good boiled blue crab. I am looking for a place i can eat some good crab and drink some ice cold beer. Suggestions much appreciated.

Grillfest is part seafood feast, part barbeque extravaganza, and all delicious. Fresh-caught fish and shrimp grilled to perfection. Prime steaks just the way you like them. Boiled crabs every night of the week. Top it off with a generous slice of pie and you’ve got a summer-style feast that’s second-to-none.

I believe Tony's Seafood sells crabs and beer but you might have take it elsewhere to eat.

Crabs are very scarce this year.

It sure seems like they are very expensive. When do they start running and prices normally come down?

should be now, and July and August. Too many traps out there, depleting the population and then they ship them elsewhere, like Maryland.

Slight hijack but an important blue crab question nonetheless
There's an authentic Asian market here in Bham (Red Pearl) that sells live blue crabs. There's a big tub with them crawling everywhere and you go pick out a few, they weigh them, and on you go. How safe are these to eat? This is a real Asian market with frogs and eels and all kinds of weird shite. Smells funky just walking inside but I've never seen a place that has live, crawling crabs for sell, at least not around here. If I picked up a couple to boil, is it a forgone conclusion that I'll get violently ill? I assume there's no way to purge crabs either?
Thoughts?
Eta: when Andrew Zimmern and Bizarre Foods visited Bham, this was one of the places he went to.

they can't be too bad if they're alive and kicking, give 'em a try

Of course they're good. Just get the live ones. Used to do that all the time here in Mecca back when our Asian grocery carried them.

I've been catching them in the Rigolets in our traps.
They aren't scarce.

They're scarce in this part of the world(Lafitte), maybe due to BP.

They're scarce throughout the Barataria estuary...and on the small size. Trawled in Timbalier Bay last weekend, and didn't catch a single crab over 2".
Something's depressing the population in that area, and no one seems to know if it was the severe winters 2 years in a row, the CoRexit sprayed all over the damn place, the oil, or some other unknown factor. Crab go through a larval stage out in the Gulf, and it's abt 3 years from larvae to mature crab.
What is being caught commands a premium price & is often being sent up the East Coast. Marylanders will pay 2-3X our price ceiling for a live crab. So we lose out.

We're not killing it or anything, but we're not getting skunked.
No doubt it's been better in years past.

Have a friend who ran a wholesale seafood business who said his best customers were Maryland restaurants. So, tourists who flock to Maryland restaurants for crab cakes and boiled crabs are actually eating Louisiana gulf crabs. They should just come to the boot.
