| - I really wanted to have a whole crab so I rolled into this place. They did deliver a fresh dungeness crab; although, at a price. A price you wouldn't know if you didn't think to ask up front.
Now, apparently according to some folks, if you see a price for crab or lobster on a board you assume it's per pound. Sure, maybe I've been living under a rock but if I see a price next to dungeness crab and there isn't "/lb" or "per pound" next to it, I'm going to think it's the price of the crab. If you look at the menu it says "market price" but I've never read anything in economics advising that the unit of measure is always by pound.
I've ordered seafood at many places, fish markets, casual and fine dining, from across the country and I have never been uncertain about what I was going to pay at the end. For example, at R & D in Newport Beach, they list fish as "market price" but the server will tell you exactly what the whole plate will cost.
Now, I can't say what would've happened if I had known it was per pound and asked the server how much it's going to weigh, but it's a nasty surprise to somebody who didn't know how "these places" work. Nobody should have to make this mistake just to find out. Would it be that difficult to add per pound to the board or menu? I can't recommend you eat here at Hot N Juicy Crawfish because if you aren't certain about how much you're going to get or what you're going to pay for it, it's not fair.
