Disruptions to supply chains due to the pandemic is just one of the reasons why the seafood you buy at the market these days might be breaking your budget.
At Union Market in D.C., District Fishwife usually has Maryland crab meat for $14 to $18 for a half pound. Right now, it’s $21.
“Availability is down, crabs are hard to find right now,” said Fiona Lewis, co-owner of District Fishwife.
She said it’s something she’s not used to.
