Looking for Stone Crabs
I am going to order some stone crab in the not too distant future...
Anyone have any recommendations on where to order from ? My search landed me on this site: https://www.keylargofisheries.com/pr...ne-crab-claws/ Dan

Season opens Oct 15 I think. I usually get it locally but I'll keep an eye out. Obviously, if you get it now it is from last year. I'd recommend waiting a bit.
Best, J.

I've never used these folks so it is up to you to find out I suppose. But they aren't too far up the road and buying from local crabbers.
You may not have seen them in your searches. https://flstonecrab.com/ Good luck! J.

Just as a follow up, I ordered from the folks I mentioned above. Shipping may be pricy since it is overnite delivery but they is some good fresh claws.
And shipping, while expensive, is still easier to celebrate with on a specific day...like an anniversary or something else that you almost forgot. J.

Well , I ordered 2 lbs of the jumbos, man I see why people love these things. As Jester said , shipping kills ya , but , i found out my butcher can get them at slightly more per pound than I paid online , so saves a bunch on shipping ...
