Next Monday is the opening day of our stone crab season. Get the mustard sauce ready! Hopefully it will be a good season with low prices.
 
Oh, man. I wish I was there. We can only get them frozen no matter what time if year it is.

Btw, I know you guys are east, but has the red tide subsided at all?

They closed some beaches on our side last week, but they were all open by the weekend.
Are the frozen ones already cooked? My buddy brought back some frozen, mixed bag from the Bahamas last year, which were not precooked. 4 minutes in the microwave on high and they were perfect.

If you want to treat yourself, you can order them from Grimm's Stonecrabs That's where Craig gets them. Decent prices and they have their own boats that cime in at back of store.
 
I thought that crab & lobster season were over at the end of summer.

Nope, in Florida, stone crab season opens 10/15 and ends 5/15. Spiny lobster season opened fully in early August, mini season last Wednesday and Thursday in July, and ends end of March.

Different areas of country have different seasons.
