Panel sets snow crab price at $5.30 for the season, union calls it 'disgusting'


This season's price for snow crab has been decided ahead of a Friday deadline. That's according to a decision issued by the Standing Fish Price Setting Panel, which was shared by the Association of Seafood Producers (ASP) late Thursday afternoon. The panel sets a price when producers and the union representing workers can't come to a deal ahead of the start of the season.

Street said the union would review the decision, but its position on processing crab in the province hasn't changed.
