Live crabs, pulled right from the water and sorted at the Pinchers' dock. $17/dozen for the little ones and $40/dozen for beautiful, meaty monsters. They also carry live soft shell crabs at $3-$5 each. We took a bunch home and made a killer meal.
Bonus points for the super helpful dudes working hard on the sorting line and for the sweet inside staff too.
If you want perfect, fresh, live Gulf crabs, it's worth the 30 minute drive from New Orleans.
Bummer points for the spunky little fucker that took a chunk out of my thumb when I was trying to get the little pricks into the pot. Be warned, these crabs can take Floyd Mayweather to the mat. read more
