No clue, I get mine from Paul Sachs and the count is fixed (and the shipping makes them expensive but a decent on-line price). When we get anywhere near a coastal bait store (very seldom) we get a couple of small brown paper bags full but I have never counted them. I am also working with a start up on eBay for an alternate type of crab but Kevin does not have any listed today and was totally out earlier in the week with too much rain to collect more.
