Few foods strike the perfect balance between simplicity and indulgence quite like stone crab claws—rosy pink shells hiding sweet, firm, and delicately flaky white meat. A true luxury of the sea, stone crabs invite you to ditch the formalities. No need for fine china or silverware here—just grab a mallet, a mojito, and some old newspaper. Sourced year-round from either Florida or the Carolinas, depending on the season, these claws are meant to be cracked, shared, and savored. Plan for ½ to ¾ of a pound per person, whip up a quick mustard sauce, and dive into the delicious ritual.
