Wow. You're right, that's some markup. I know of at least one seafood
co-op, but I don't know that I can just go there, not being a retailer. I
don't think they would have king or even snow crabs, even if. Still, the
place is only a ride up the river from the NYC fish market, I don't know if
it's still called Fulton.

At any rate, my best chance for seafood is really Whole Foods or Costco.
I mean that quality-wise.
