Thread: Stone Crab Claws in NOVA

But stone crabs are found in warm water. Perhaps the wiki updater got confused. And they are Alaskan king crabs.

Huh, never heard of Stone Crabs being called King Crabs. The only other name I know that they go by is Jonah Crabs.

Sicksoul, stone crab claw/legs can fit in your hand where King crab legs are as long as your arm. Stone crabs are tropical and King crabs are arctic

Tongue-in-cheek statement on my part, no offense was taken. Quote: Truth is, yes I have. Ive probably tried more seafood than you can imagine. That's a bold statement, I'm a bit of a seafood junkie myself.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_crab King crabs , also called stone crabs , are a family of crab -like decapod crustaceans chiefly found in cold seas. Because of their large size and the taste of their flesh, many species are widely caught and sold as food , the most common being the red king crab (Paralithodes camtschaticus Wikipedia also I read something like that some where else.

Agree on all counts. I actually worked as a waiter at CBSH for six months - back in the good ole days when AYCE crab legs were $7.95.

Dungeoness crab legs are pretty damn good too if you can find them.. we used to got CBSH back in the day and had contests to see who could eat the most crab legs LOL good times!

We have them down here in Florida. I've yet to try them though. Hmmm. Maybe I'll have to try them soon.
