The Start of Stone Crab Season — Florida’s Finest Tradition

Every October 15th, Florida comes alive with anticipation as stone crab season officially begins. Fishermen set out before sunrise, checking traps along the Gulf Coast for the first claws of the season.

At Stone Crab Reserve, we honor this century-old tradition by sourcing directly from local crabbers who follow sustainable practices. Each crab is carefully declawed and returned to the ocean alive — allowing it to regenerate and thrive.

Our claws are cooked fresh the same day, chilled on ice, and delivered overnight to your door. The result? Sweet, tender meat with that unmistakable Florida flavor.

Enjoy them chilled with our mustard sauce or warmed with a squeeze of lemon. Whether you’re hosting guests or indulging at home, stone crab season is a celebration of coastal craftsmanship and simple luxury.

🗓️ Pre-orders now open — first local deliveries begin October 16.
