stone crab
Rocky shore crustacean
A stone crab is a crab found along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of North America, prized for its large, meaty claws.
Fishermen typically harvest only the claws and return the live crab to the water, where it can regenerate the lost limb.
We ordered stone crab claws with mustard sauce.
