I sell Rock Crab every Saturday morning! Come early, line can form as early as 3:30am, market opens at 5:30am and I’m usually sold out long before 9:00am. Sorry, I do not take sales special orders, or hold crab in advance.

While it is unlikely that I won’t have crab on any given Saturday, weather and the sea may not often agree.
