SOFT SHELL CRABS
GREATLY IN DEMAND
AT LOCAL MARKETS

Soft shell crabs-a sea food that al
WAYS holds IS share OF seasonabIe pop
ularity-ar mailer this year than for
several yeaF- past.
This fact, however, has not lessened
the demand for them, although II has
affected the price. The reason given for
the reduced size Is that the soft crab.
like all of Natures products, suffers It's
off seasons. 1t SO happens that this "a
an of season for tie soft crab. although
bv the time the hard crab season IS
farther advanced they will likely be
found of normal size.
This week sees the high-tide of the
soft crab season and today, being the
regular FISH day" there was heavy
demand in the local market for this de-
Iectable food. In fact. the sales today
would indicate that the feature of the
menu in many homes az dinner tonight
will be the soft crab instead of fish.
From the talk heard ia the market
districts, it is apparent that housewives.

thing TO supplant fish on the Friday
dinner menu, now look with favor on
