How to Crack and Serve Stone Crab Like a Pro

Stone crab claws are pre-cooked and ready to eat, making them one of the easiest gourmet experiences you can serve at home.

Here’s how to do it like a Floridian:

1. Chill claws on ice or warm gently in hot water — never boil.

2. Use a wooden mallet or crab cracker to tap the shell along the joints.

3. Remove the shell cleanly to preserve the tender meat.

4. Serve with lemon wedges, drawn butter, or our famous mustard dipping sauce.

Pair them with a crisp Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, or Champagne for that coastal touch.

Whether you’re celebrating the holidays or hosting a backyard dinner, stone crab turns any meal into a five-star feast — effortlessly.
