What’s your opinion? Are Stone Crab Claws worth the price tag!?

[JarrodFLifr]

When I was a kid, my dad would drop cinder blocks in the ICW and mark them with his LORAN. When we would go back to them, they would be loaded with stone crabs...we always had a good supply of crab claws

Nobody needs your support more than the fisher-folks that provide for America. Thank you for your informative videos. They are always on point and on time! Much respect!

[MrMackievelli]

Between 23%-81%, depending on if both claws are removed or not, die before the end of the molt. Which sounds like a lot, and it is, however before this they were nearly wiped out in Florida and doing this has saved the fishery.

Captain clay and sons harvests nothing but the best!!! You are guaranteed to bring your family a delicious bounty!

I love Stone Crab claws, but I didn't realize you could take both claws, something about that is just wrong.

Your videos are a staple in the fishing community Reed, we love what you do!

[IMStrawman]

GREAT video, well written narration, you are well spoken.

My wife and I treated ourselves to Stone crab on our 20th anniversary in 2021, I love crab, but I just don’t think it’s worth the money. And now learning what the survival rate of the crabs is after the loss of clause reduces my desire to ever try them again.

Best video yet! Very informative, first time seeing an actual stone crab harvest keep up the hard work!

[PhillipPahinui]

Great download. Very informative, currently saving my money to buy a bushel. Your enthusiasm is infective. Thanx.

Awesome video...Im a native floridian and always wondered why the claws were so expensive...Amazing 👍🏽

[JontyBlue]

Great episode Reed, good to see an industry looking out for future generations who will follow. Thank you 🤩

[Bearaway]

Admittedly, they are good. However, after I did a weight test, (shell/meat) it turned out that only 21% of the weight is edible. So with that in mind, Dunginess and King are just as good and more meat for the money...

I live on the central Florida gulf coast. I've been harvesting these crabs just for a hobby. Just for fun. I've always gone home with tons of claws.

[douglasgault]

I'm on the west coast and love our stone crab claws. There's some really sweet spots for them. And even sweeter eating the day they're caught.

[LiveTUNA]

Oh man, when I lived in the Gulf, Destin FL, every Thanksgiving we would get 2 massive bags of Stone Crab Claws and several bushels of Oysters. We would eat them smoked and the oysters raw with some Tabasco sauce and lime. We often had flounder and mullet as well that we harvested ourselves. I moved to Arizona back in 2010 and Thanksgiving just isn't the same anymore. 😢 I miss seafood so much!!

[howardbales]

Excellent video Reed, it is crazy how expensive things are getting but it's alot of work vs reward, that's why to many mom n pop places don't survive and that's sad.

[pec]

I'm hooked on your videos !! They are so informative and fun to watch. Thanks so much.

[squeebiebalmy]
