<<Does the stone crab look like the dungeness?>>

As I recall only the large claw of the stone crab is eaten. They break the large claw off and toss the crab back and it grows another claw. My parents liked to go to Florida so I got them a gift certificate to

Found this on Ish's link. They only serve the claws of the stone crab. They take the claws and throw the rest of the crab back into the sea. Within 18 months he grows new claws. Renewable resource. LOL

I don't know how long they live or how many "crops" you can get from one crab. The meat is as sweet as a dungy...

Now, the boat steams toward home. And all the men start shucking crabs. They reach into the crawl, pull out a live crab, and break off one or two claws, whichever are legal size, and throw the crab body overboard. The claws go into boxes or bags, and the boat is hosed down for the next day.
