Stone Crab Season

See this content in the original post

🦀 It’s the most wonderful time of the year - it’s stone crab season! 🦀

There is no bite quite as perfect as a stone crab claw dipped in mustard sauce. The season opened October 15 and closes May 1 so you have plenty of time to swing by your favorite seafood restaurant or market to treat yourself to a handful of claws. Did you know it’s good practice for a crabber to only harvest one claw so that the crab can still use their remaining claw to eat and defend themselves? They’ll eventually even grow back the claw that was harvested!

So tell us, where’s your favorite spot for stone crab?
