Where to buy live blue crabs near Houston? West or NW side preferred.

Anyone know a good place to get blue crabs near Houston? I called one place and they said their #2’s are $6 a pound and #1s are $10 a pound. Those prices seem a tad absurd, but I haven’t bought crabs since 2021.

NW of Houston, you know where Tomball is? I just texted the owner of Captain Brads, she might have some live, I'll let you know.

I have bought from Kris’es Wholesale seafood before and was happy with it. Bought live blue crabs, fresh shrimp, and stone crab claws. They are just south of 290.
Got crabs

Your other option is trying the Asian markets. Good luck with that.

Rose’s doesn’t have crabs.

Kris’s has them, but the same price as what I mentioned in my first post. So that seems to be the norm I guess. Oh well. Crabflation is out of control.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions!
