stone crab claws
Shelled seafood delicacy
Stone crab claws are the harvested claws of the stone crab, a crustacean found along the Atlantic coast from North Carolina to Texas.
Only the claws are taken—the crab is returned to the water to regenerate new ones.
The meat is sweet and firm, typically served chilled with mustard sauce: We ordered stone crab claws at the seafood restaurant.
