Our Fresh Seafood Promise

The founders of Patas Stone Crabs are avid seafood consumers themselves, and when they started the business, they realised a number of shortcomings about the current seafood market in the USA.

1. Limited same-day delivery within Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties
2. Limited delivery of stone crabs nationwide or international
3. Very limited shipment of crabs outside of stone crab season - up to five months a year!

So the Patas team developed our promise to you: Fresh, fast, ethically sourced seafood delivered right across the globe to your deserving plate. Here’s how we do it:

Seafood delivered to you in 2 hours

Patas Stone Crab is one of the only companies that can have seafood delivered directly to you within 2 hours in selected markets. If you’re a national customer, we can deliver your seafood overnight. When you order from us, you get excellent value and the best crabs Florida has to offer. This is because there are no middlemen who drive up logistics, warehousing, storage or transportation costs. We sell directly to our customers - it doesn’t get any fresher or faster than that. Check out our shipping guidelines here.

Sourced fresh, fast and ethically

Our seafood is sourced fresh, fast and ethically. Patas Stone Crab ensures that our stone crabs are only caught using humane methods and techniques. This preserves not only the life of the crabs, but promotes their population growth for years to come. Once caught, the seafood is delivered to our facility to be cleaned, cooked and packaged as per your order. After that, it is sent straight out onto the road, kept icy cold until it hits your dinner plate. We’ve answered some frequently asked questions about our delicious stone crabs here.

Stone crabs available year-round

Most seafood delivery companies aren’t able to supply stone crabs to anyone for up to five months of the year while they are out of season. Don’t be disappointed by the lack of seafood delivery around your area when you really need it! Keep Patas Stone Crab in mind. Out of season, we continue to ship our products frozen using our special process. This continues to preserve the freshness and high quality taste you know and love, long after the fishing season ends. 

During the fishing season, your delicious crab claws will have been sourced straight from the sea. In other months of the year, our crabs arrive at your door frozen to preserve the freshness of recently caught seafood. By being able to offer our stone crabs every day of the year, we can reliably serve your catering and dinner needs! This way, you can always enjoy the freshest seafood delivered on the market.
