General Stone Crab FAQ

When does stone crab season start?

The Florida Stone Crab Season opens on Thursday, October 15th and ends May 1st. Our crabs are fresh, never frozen.

What makes stone crabs sustainable?

Aside from being delicious, stone crabs are 100% sustainable. They are the ultimate renewable seafood resource. Only one claw is removed during harvest. The crab is then released back into the water where it will regrow its claw 6-7 x during its life.

Are stone crabs healthy?

Yes, stone crabs are low in calories and are rich in protein. The delicate meat is loaded with minerals and nutrients.

What are the black spots on my stone crab?

The black spots are little bruises from sea urchins’ spines and scrapes from the ocean floor. We agree that they are a bit un-easy on the eye, especially if you are not aware that this is perfectly normal and edible still. Our recommendation is to dip it in some sauce and enjoy.

What is the shelf life of un-cracked stone crabs?

They will last up to a week but taste better the sooner they are eaten. We doubt they will stay uneaten long!

What is the shelf life of cracked stone crabs?

You can eat them the following day, but we recommend that you eat them the day you receive them if they are cracked.
