When fisherman Paul Menish sold his first load of Dungeness crab to OBI Seafoods in Petersburg, he said he got $2.10 a pound — 50 cents lower than the starting price last summer.
Crab pots loaded onto the crabbing boat Hi Nikki at Petersburg’s South Harbor.
Kevin Timm is the fleet manager at OBI Seafoods in Petersburg. He said the problem is that there’s still a lot of Dungeness crab left over from last year. He said it’s expensive and customers just aren’t buying it. The organization doesn’t have any specific information on last year’s leftover dungy inventory. But they do know that snow crab inventory is higher than usual.
“We don’t survey Dungeness like we do in Southeast for red and blue king crab and tanner crab,” said Stratman. “So we don’t have any stock assessment independent of the fishery. So all of our information is fishery dependent.”
