Why Stone Crab Claws Are Florida’s Most Expensive Finger Food (And Worth Every Penny)
**"Ever wonder why a single stone crab claw costs more than a steak dinner? Here’s the deal — you’re not just paying for seafood, you’re paying for a masterclass in patience, precision, and pure Florida grit. Unlike most crabs, these little tough guys don’t get tossed in a pot. Nope, fishermen only take the claws, twist ‘em off like a soda cap, and toss the crab back in the water to grow a new set. It’s the ultimate 'give and take' relationship with nature.
But that process? It ain’t quick, easy, or cheap. Between setting traps, sorting claws, and keeping the crabs alive, it’s more work than a summer roof job in August. Add a short harvest season (October to May) and a little foodie frenzy, and suddenly that claw on your plate feels like gold-plated seafood. Crack it open, dip it in mustard sauce, and savor the sweetest, most expensive bite of Florida you’ll ever have."**
