Product Description
Enjoy one of Florida's most iconic seafood delicacies with Florida Fresh Stone Crab Jumbo 1 lb. Sustainably harvested from the coastal waters of Florida, these premium jumbo stone crab claws are expertly steamed shortly after harvest to preserve their naturally sweet, tender flavor, then carefully cold packed and shipped ready to enjoy.
Each pound contains Jumbo Stone Crab Claws averaging 5 to 7 ounces per claw, providing generous portions of succulent crab meat prized for its firm texture and delicate sweetness. Since the claws arrive fully cooked, there's no preparation required. Simply chill, crack the shell, and serve with your favorite mustard sauce, drawn butter, fresh lemon, cocktail sauce, or tartar sauce.
Unlike traditional crab fisheries, Florida Stone Crab is one of the world's most sustainable seafood harvests. Only the claws are harvested before the crab is returned to the water, allowing it to naturally regenerate new claws and continue its life cycle.
Whether you're entertaining guests, celebrating a special occasion, or bringing a true taste of Florida to your table, Florida Fresh Stone Crab delivers an unforgettable seafood experience.
