Stone crabs - the seafood that never goes out of fashion

Any seafood lover can tell you that the delicacy of stone crabs is not to be underestimated. The lines to get into seafood restaurants in Florida and surrounding areas have been around for decades. In fact, the stone crab frenzy began with a humble start all the way back in 1913, when local businessmen discovered the best way to cook them, and the first commercial stand opened for business.

The ritual of eating stone crabs is a really special event for many people in the US and increasingly overseas. Did you know that 98% of stone crabs come from Florida? 

Due to sustainability factors, one pound of stone crab meat takes more time to harvest than most other seafood - which means it can be rare, and sometimes higher in price. Due to the high demand from stone crab fans across the nation, businesses like our very own Patas Stone Crab are able to provide delicious meals in under 2 hours, in selected markets.
