Not available near me and I'd like a holiday treat. Where do you order yours? Bonus for any additional sources for all things crab/shellfish. Thanks!

When I lived for a spell in Miami, Garcia Bros had the freshest stone crab claws. They're the premier fish market in the area, operating their own fishing fleet. They do ship outside the region, but the cost for your city will be over $100 (they only do FedEx Overnight).

If you order from them you should probably also get their mustard sauce.

I love Key Largo Fisheries. Day boat caught, immediately cooked, and cooled. That's going to be the case from any commercial shipper. My favorite thing about them is that they ship various sizes. I usually get medium, but the larges are on a great sale right now. All their sauces are great. Get some smoked fish dip.

I have nothing to compare it to since they are the only stone crabs I have ever had, but my uncle sent us boxes from Joe's on a couple special occasions.
