So I hang out at a seedy bar.
Go figure.
It's a cool place where people who don't know about it are afraid of it.
But once you're in, everybody knows your name. That kind of place.
Anyway, there's an old fisherman salt who comes by straight from the dock with a cooler full of stone crabs.
You can get a gallon sized zip-loc bag full for $20. And they're big ones.
Market price on these babies is much much much higher.
So I gots me a bag. Havin a cheap night of stone crabs.
Made Joe's Stone Crab mustard sauce, and Joe's stuffed tomatoes, which I've altered the recipe a bit.
PM me if you are interested in the recipes.
Stone crabs are a south florida delicacy. Served cold over ice with a nice dipping sauce and a cold beer.
These aren't like those Alaskan things everyone else eats. Sweet and delicious!
The fishermen are only allowed to rip off one claw, and then throw the crab back in the water to make some more.
No animals were killed for this meal!
Enjoy. I gotta go get drunker.
