Newscopy: "HERE'S SOMETHING TO CRAB ABOUT AT S.F. CRAB MARKET -- Deep sea crabs have hit an all-time low at San Francisco, as a result of a tilt between the Crab Fishermen's Protective Association, whose members operate 300 fishing boats, and dealers along the picturesque Fishermen's Wharf, where crabs are cooked in cauldrons on the sidewalk. The fishermen charge that a huge proportion of the crabs sold in San Francisco are shipped in from other places, to the detriment of the fishermen. As a protest, the fishermen's organization has gone into the retail business at San Francisco - with live crabs selling at a dollar a dozen. And here is a group of Italian-Americans, clamoring to buy bargain priced crabs for making chioppino - the famous crab-and-fish-stew-with-wine-and-spice.". |
