stone crabs?
 

Does anyone know of a local source for stone crab claws? I know I can order them from Joe's Stone Crab, but it's about $200 a pop.

Have seen them at Fresh Markets on 466 at least once in the past. I usually order from livelobster.com and they are good size and less then Joe's. And last time I was at Joe's, I got the recipe for their mustard sauce.

If you drive over to Crystal River on the Gulf (about an hour), you can usually get fresh stone crabs (from the local boats) at Shrimp Landing
12645 W Fort Island Trail 34429 (352) 795-4380.

There is an ad running everyday in the Villages Paper, where this guy will deliver them to you $6lb.(Classifieds)Page E4

Thanks everyone. I knew I could get an answer here!

Stone crabs
 

Not sure if this is what you want but I saw an ad in the Daily Sun
under the Produce section advertising fresh jumbo shrimp and
stone crabs right off the boat, delivered. I haven't called
to see how much they are but if you do, please let me know.

Check the daily sun in the Classifieds under good things to eat I believe, there is a truck that shows up on the weekends near 466 and 441 I believe, they are selling stone crab, also have a tele # to call.

Thanks so much!!

The guy that sells fresh seafood on 466 at the Produce stand occassional has a sign out. That is just east of Morse past the little stip mall.
