I have read so many blogs about crabs lately that I have to put in my two cents. Here in Florida the stone crab season is in full swing. This fishery pours millions of dollars into the local economy. It is an inshore exercise with most of the fishing performed by individuals. The crabs are full of meat and are delicious. It seems everyone has a special way of preparing these tasty morsels but I have never tasted a bad one.
Now to the real good part. These local crab fishermen only take one claw from the crab. They know how to break away the claw without killing the crab, and throw it back in the water. The crab quickly grows another and in a short period of time is ready to be harvested. Now that is a renewable resource. There are strict laws protecting this resource and it should flourish for years to come. Next time you come to Florida have stone crab realizing you are helping the fishermen and not hurting the environment.
