My local grocery store advertises this almost every week in
their weekly sale flyer.

Crab Cake, one count - $8.99

WTH? 8.99 for one crabcake? I finally remembered to check
last week.

It's a round ice cream scoop size of mix.
Looks to be maybe 1/4 pound but probably a bit less.
Anyway, I told the seafood person that it sounds very
overpriced to me. She said, "yes, but these contain a lot
more crabmeat."

I said nothing but that was funny. A crabcake should always
be mostly crabmeat.

Anyway, I just looked and asked because I was curious.
I could see paying that much at a nice restaurant
as an appetizer, already cooked and served.

But not raw, made in a grocery store. Who knows, they
might have even used canned crabmeat.
