The Alaskan King Crab Leg Indicator

Is this delectable seafood a test of the retail market for seafood? I decided that before watching the Oscars tonight, I'd drop by the local Ralph's Grocery Store to get some crab legs and have a nice dinner in front of the TV with some friends. Problem is they don't sell crab legs at the Ralph's near me. Why? They are too expensive for the store to speculate on . . . . that's right, the manager told me they used to stock crab legs up until about a week ago but they just went to waste as no one was willing to spend $20/lb for them. Is this a tell on the state of the economy? I think it is.
