Wtf are these prices. 23 dollars for crab cakes and 17 for lobster soup. Are shellfish prices really that high or have I just missed something after not eating crab and lobster for a few years?

You actually missed a couple things. Alaskan crab fields are at disastrous lows currently. This years snow crab season was fully cancelled. Lobster has also seen a large increase in prices the past few years mostly as Chinese demand has increased. A larger and larger portion of Atlantic Lobster is being sold at a premium to East Asian customers.

These prices aren’t that insane. About what you’d expect at any nice restaurant in a city.

Remember it’s an appetizer though, doesn’t even come with fries.

A Big Mac costs $6 these days...so $23 for crab cakes is reasonable...ESPECIALLY at a nice restaurant like this one!
