OFF-SEASON UPDATE: The fresh Florida Stone Crab season is officially closed until October 15th. To ensure you can enjoy this delicacy year-round, our current supply was flash-frozen at the peak of the season. This locks in the signature sweet flavor and firm texture you expect from Direct Seafood. Claws will arrive frozen, simply thaw overnight in the refrigerator and serve chilled!

Product Description

Florida stone crab is a true Florida tradition, clean, sweet meat with a firm snap, taken from the claws and responsibly harvested so crabs are returned to the water to regenerate. Caught along the state’s coasts, it brings a briny freshness and elegant presentation that needs very little to shine.

Serve cracked and chilled with classic mustard sauce, lemon, and a touch of sea salt, or warm gently and finish with drawn butter. Ideal for seafood towers, holiday spreads, or an effortless centerpiece at home, impressive on the plate, straightforward to enjoy.

How is the seafood kept fresh during shipping?

Every Direct Seafood order is packed in an insulated cooler with ample dry ice to maintain frozen conditions during transit. Each portion is individually vacuum-sealed to preserve freshness and ensure ease of storage.

When your shipment arrives, the seafood should be fully frozen. Immediately transfer it to your freezer. Any remaining dry ice should be handled with care—either dispose of it using the instructions provided or allow it to dissipate by closing the cooler lid.

STONE CRAB CLAWS (Off-Season Flash-Frozen)

Upon Arrival: Unpack immediately. If you plan to serve them within 24 hours, transfer them directly to the refrigerator to thaw. Otherwise, store them in the freezer.
Thawing: Thaw the claws overnight in the refrigerator. Do not thaw at room temperature or under hot water.
Storage & Best By: Once thawed, keep refrigerated at 38°F or below and consume within 1 to 2 days. Do not refreeze after thawing.
Serving: Stone crab is fully cooked and best served cold. Use a mallet or cracker to break the shells.

DUNGENESS CRAB (Chilled or Thawed)

Storage (Chilled): Keep refrigerated at 38°F or below and consume within 1 to 2 days of arrival or by the package date.
Reheating: To enjoy warm (like in a boil or with butter), steam the crab sections over boiling water for 4-6 minutes. Do not boil or microwave, as this can dry out the meat.
