Yes, you read it correctly! Tonight is indeed stone crab night!!! One of Ron's employees brought us a large box of stone crabs and now the freezer is full! We had some last week and tonight is going to be another stone crab night!!!

There are several dozen of these wonderful stone crabs claws in our freezer! The advantages of living in Florida!!!

Stone crab season starts on October 15th each year and is still going on!!! Just remember to wear heavy gloves if you decide to go after some yourself!!!

I am so envious; everything I eat is frozen in Wisconsin. Come to think of it I think everything in Wisconsin is frozen.

And, they say that they break off one claw and through the animal back into the sea to grow another claw.  DUH, i wonder how competitive a one-clawed stone crab is amongst the others at the bottom?  Imagine a species that evolved for millennia with 2 claws and then "Man" turns them into One-Clawed Crabs.  Maybe the 1-Claws form a club and work together so that every pair has 2 claws?  It just doesn't add up biologically.  What do you think, or are you just a consumer: "Don't bother me with the biology, these things are toooo good!" 

Cheers, JIM!

John - come on down!!! The temperature is going up to 77 today!!!

Tom - that sure goes for you too!!! I can't imagine being up there right now!!!

James - good point, and I have thought of it. My partner says that they make it just fine and do indeed grow a new claw - he has been a fisherman his entire life, growing up in a family that owned 70 and 80 foot fishing boats that took tourists out from Clearwater - he is environmentally conscious and measures every fish we catch - if it is even close to the limit (and is technically a keeper) he still throws it back so it "can grow a little more" - so when he says they do just fine, I believe him-

Christine - They were indeed wonderful!!!

James - by the way, there are links on the internet showing that taking the claw does NOT endanger the stone crab - check it out -
