Never see soft shell crab selling by the bushel, anyone know where to pick up a few dozen of these beauties?
New Mexico tamales with pork and red chile.
(rancheros sauce?) Huevos Rancheros is served with green and/or red chile.

For a real New Mexico breakfast: eggs, carne adovada, fried potatoes topped with chile and cheese and a couple of fresh hot flour tortillas.
what are you paying for 8-10 shrimp and boiled crab?
Yea, prices are high, but that's everywhere. I am not rich by any stretch of the imagination, counting pennies like everyone else. I don't begrudge someone needing to charge for their products, they have families to feed too.

Being able to buy the best seafood in the country, how lucky are you to be able to have it anytime you want. I just would like to pay a fair price for delicious seafood and give my family and friends back home a rare treat!!!
Going to New Orleans in March, want to bring bring back seafood. Would like to get a ballpark est of the costs (so I can bring enough money).

Do they have and what is a good price for?

Frozen soft shell crab (per dozen)
bushel #2 or mixed crab
half sack crawfish
half sack oysters
jumbo shrimp

(also interested in conch, alligator, turtle and sausages and boudin made with seafood or alligator), most likely will need to get this elsewhere.

Green chile cheese burger is a must have in New Mexico. Getting a combo plate (taco, enchilada, chile relleno or tamale), is always a great choice, ask for it "christmas" (with red and green chile). More must haves: Breakfast burrito (I always order a bacon, green), green chicken enchilada, and burritos (various fillings) and sopapillas. If you're unsure if you can handle the hot, order chile on the side and adjust the spice. Hope that helps.
