The Florida Stone Crab season started on Oct. 15th and there are crab pots everywhere. I almost ran over one last weekend.

Been thinking about buying a crab trap to test my luck. Has anyone tried catching these suckers? Any tips? I know you can only take one of their claws, but beyond this I don't know much.

Just Maryland blue claws for me. The best tasting crab on the planet

Stoned crabbers, I thought we were talking OWS people again

Ron,

back in the day I worked in the meat and seafood dept. Stone claws are the best! Sorry ED! Make sure you know which side claw to take off. They do right one year and left the next. That way they always have a claw to defend themselves.

I beg to differ, come out here and I'll serve up some blue claws.

You got that right. Now I'm going to be craving them until next summer!!!!!

My wife likes the Maryland crabs too. She went to school there. I like Alaskan crabs, but I don't think my boat would last to long in the Bearing Sea.

I'm with Ed, blue crabs are the best.

The ones from Tijuana are very itchy!

Watch out...I've been known to travel looong distances for food bets

Stay away from those bearded clams down there and you won't get infested!!!

We are talking about seafood, right???

Once you go Chesapeake Bay blue claw, you never go back
