What Size Stone Crab Claws Are the Best for Me?

Helpful Size Information When Buying Stone Crab

First off, we do not sell “small” crab claws, so the mediums are the smallest you can order, and they’re plenty big.

Recommended Stone Crab Pounds Per Order

We typically recommend a pound and a half per person if stone crabs will be the main dish on the menu or for the gathering.. if you would like them as an appetizer, we would suggest about a 1/2 lb per person, but fair warning those who like stone crabs can easily enjoy 2 lbs just on their own.

Stone Crabs Vary By Size

Medium Stone Crab
For the “medium”, for a serving size of two, you get 6-7 claws to the order (per person), and they feature plenty of meat for almost anyone. This is a great option for an appetizer.

Large Stone Crab
If you want to jump to the “largest” size for 2 people you will get fewer claws, still 1.5 pounds each per person. Perfect dinner for two!

Jumbo Stone Crab
Now we are getting into the “WOW” of the dinner party size.

Colossal Stone Crab
The “as big as your hand” size! An experience on top of enjoying one of Florida’s delicacies.
