I recall that lobster glut from a few years ago and reading how cheap it was going to be. All season long, I hit the seafood section at least weekly, looking to score a great deal. Prices never changed. Someone made a lot of money that year.
For all you beer drinkers out there, make a trip to Wisconsin.
About 48 miles north of Green Bay.

$150.60 per couple with the gratuity and tax. You have to REALLY like beer!!!

Late, but Happy New Year nonetheless. 
Cinnamon rolls New Year’s Day.
Dinner- rack of pork, creamed onions, broccoli, mash with gravy, dinner roll and pork dressing with fresh apples.
Beef barley soup- stock was made with rib roast bones.

What's a glut anymore, lol... I saw that premium blue crab is now up to $54/lb in our local market yesterday, yikes! I think the claw meat is up to $24.99/lb, and that's the cheapest stuff.
That NYE seafood gumbo I made last weekend cost me close to $70 for the seafood......
It did make enough for several dinners. I froze the leftovers. The crabmeat was $30 for a cup.

So it sounds like I should run out and buy that pound, it's a bargain!
Edit: I'm getting out of work early today, I should run up to a local farmers market we have here in Lemoyne and see what the going price is, there are a couple of seafood vendors there. Plus it's a great way to contract covid!

Double edit: $39/lb for Venezuelan crabmeat at the farmers market, all of Giant's is Indonesian. And as expected, about 10% of the people (mainly the older generations) were wearing masks.

Where did you find "dried shrimps"? I have some old ones I used to rehydrate for cichlid food, but it sez "not for human consumption" on the label.
I guess I could try them on my kids and see if they survive eating them, lol.
Are you kidding me......... No 'dried shrimps" were to be had in Lost Almost. I would think you could find them in an Asian food store. The closest one to me is in ABQ 100 miles away. I figure raw shrimp in their shells was close enough!
Okay, I'll thaw a couple and put them in the oven at 170* for a few hours, lol.
I always try to make a recipe as intended at least once so I get an idea of what the recipe author intended, then I have fun switching stuff around.

I found some on Amazon (of course), but that doesn't help you if you want to make it today.
Probably tomorrow for lunch (the boy works during dinner time). I can't imagine that you would really notice it missing with all the other ingredients stewing in a dark roux.
I did find some Maryland crabmeat (Old Salty's Lump) for $18.99 for a pound. Will reserve some for the gumbo and make up a few crabcakes for tonight. Can you freeze a crabcake before cooking?

Well, after reserving some for the pending gumbo, had some leftover crabmeat after cleaning it. Made some larger cakes (2 for me, 2 for my son), so no need to freeze. They were definitely yummy!
No gumbo today, boy went with better half for a haircut and the DMV to finally get his learners permit (T1D hoops complicate the process). Had some leftover chicken taco meat, so did up some green chile nachos for lunch. Added some roasted salsa verde for flavor. Yum!
