Stone crab claws
A state delicacy, Florida stone crab claws are highly prized for their unique flavor and their scarcity. Harvested just one large claw at a time from stone crabs pulled out of the Gulf of Mexico by local fishermen, boiled to perfection, and then served chilled with a flavorful mustard sauce, large claws from stone crabs are treated like gold by seafood lovers.
Here at Eaton Street Seafood, we partner with fishermen that are right on top of the stone crab season, which runs from October to May. We have the best, tastiest large claws with the most delicate and flavorful meat anywhere. You can even have stone crab claws delivered right to your door in just a day when you order from online from us. That's why Eaton Street is your number one source for fresh, high-quality products, in season or not.
Why is Stone Crab So Expensive?
Stone crab is absolutely delicious, but there's more than that behind the price of these crabs. The reason fresh stone crab comes at such a premium because of how carefully regulated stone crabbing is by the state. Florida's stone crab season is monitored closely to ensure that stone crabs aren't over-harvested and that just the claw is removed without harming or killing the crab.
This leads to a relatively smaller supply than other types of seafood (and, of course, a relatively higher demand). The larger a crabs claws, the more meat on them, and the more expensive they'll be -- it's not uncommon to see fresh jumbo or colossal Florida stone crab claws retailing for as much as $50 a pound. Of course, you can end up paying much more if you frequent a certain crab shack run by a certain Joe. That's why it's best to buy directly from us!
Do Stone Crabs Regrow Claws?
Stone crabs do indeed reglow their claws. They go through a seasonal molt, and as they do so, they rain the ability to regenerate any missing body parts such as claws. This makes them a sustainable and renewable resource beloved of Florida fishermen and seafood lovers alike. It also means that harvesting stone crab claws involve removing just one large claw from the crab and releasing the crab back into the wild to regrow that claw in the future. Not only that, but there's little in the way of habitat disruption or damage as a result of the average Joe Fisherman's harvesting operation, which makes harvesting claws from stone crabs even more environmentally friendly.
What do Stone Crab Claws Taste Like?
Stone crab claws have a unique taste, part of why they're so sought after by just about everyone. Even the Average Joe knows they've got something special on their plate after a single bite of Florida stone crab, thanks to its sweet, tender meat. It's a good thing that stone crab season isn't all year, because if more people got to sample this incredible flavor our local fishermen wouldn't be able to keep up with the demand!
