Dungeness crab is expensive there?

It's not expensive where you live? 

We typically make crab cakes for the wife and I, using 1# lump crab meat from Costco. That's I think 27.99 last time I looked. The salmon we use is 11.99/lb I think. 

aren't you a bit closer to the coast and the source?

Yeah, but I'm not sure that actually makes much of a difference. We're not buying fresh crab and separating out the meat ourselves. We're buying prepackaged canned lump crab meat. So after it's caught it has to go to a processing center, get separated, get packed and go through distribution. 

I'm sure the cost of the raw product and the rest of the preparation are a bigger part of the total cost than trucking fees. 

The amount of money my i s c & a aggie wife spends at Costco every month is... staggering.

I only WISH a higher percentage of that was on steaks and brisket and beef short ribs!

Looking around, I'd need about 4 lbs of crab to yield 1 lb meat. Googling suggests that live dungeness MIGHT be cheap enough to be equal in price to Costco, but then it adds a ton of work for no real savings, and if I can't find those prices, it'll cost me more than Costco.
You have an executive membership, yes?

Years ago when I upgraded to the exec membership my only goal was to cover the difference between regular and exec membership. Each year I get my rebate check and can usually can cover my membership twice over or more.

Yup same here.

And my wife believes that means we are MAKING money from all of the shopping at Costco...

followed a ATC Cast Iron Flank Steak recipe spread salt/pepper & Montreal Steak Seasoning(my addition) on to both sides of meat. Plastic wrap and place in Fridge for 5hrs(up to 8hrs).Pull out & pat dry and sear both sides in CI pan over med-high with shrooms/onion then stick in 280 deg oven for 45 minutes or until 165 deg  👅 Dayum tender/tasty/easy - even sat down to eat it.  Cindy made a side of Southwest style brown rice/quioa/black beans/corn/chopped red bell pepper with Syrian allspice/coriander/cumin sprinkled in

PS chased it down with A local Blue Martian Sour Ale,with Blueberry and vanilla notes
