Maryland Crab Shortage: Catonsville Gourmet has you covered!
April 1st officially begins the Maryland crab season. However, CBS Local is reporting that Maryland is one of many states experiencing a crab shortage.
“It’s been a terrible winter, actually. We’ve been off…about 40 percent off of what we had over last year,” said Randy Bielski of Ocean Pride Seafood in Lutherville, Maryland. “We hope once the weather warms up, the crabs come out of the mud, then all the sudden they start biting like last year.”
But only time will tell.
“What’s happening right now is there are no crabs coming out of Louisiana and the Gulf Coast and basically restaurants and retail stores that feature crabs year round are having a tough time finding it and are not being able to satisfy customers’ demands,” said Steve Vilnit of the Department of Natural Resources.
