It's Stone Crab Season!!
Stone crab claws are known for their sweet and succulent taste and they are usually eaten with a zesty mustard sauce.
Stone crab season in the Florida Keys runs from October 15 to May 1 in Florida. During this time, fishermen catch stone crabs and harvest their claws, returning them to the water to regenerate for future seasons.
