It's Stone Crab Season In Florida & Here Are Yelp's Top Miami Restaurants
Let's get crackin'. 🦀
Stone crabs on a plate with a lime. Right: Stone crabs on a platter.
Stone Crab season in Florida begins on October 15 until May 1, so many of the seafood restaurants are gearing up to sell the crustaceous delicacy.
A lot of the stone crabs famously come from the Florida Keys and are usually sold fresh within 24 hours. Typically, they are served on ice with a creamy mustard dipping sauce and many establishments have their own secret recipes.
With various venues around the Sunshine State, Yelp rated the top 10 Miami restaurants to get the best stone crabs this month. It's one item that's always in high demand. So much so, one place is already sold out!
