The season-opening for Mendocino, Humboldt, and Del Norte counties is now set for January 15th.
That means the crab that is available is expensive. Diablo Foods is selling crab for $17.99 a pound.
Whole Foods has them for $8.99 a pound saying "you can thank Amazon for that".
One shopper at Diablo Foods said he was going to pay the $17.99 a pound because his wife sent him out for crab so that's what he was going to buy.
