Jason Wells+FollowWhy skipping stone crab matters in FloridaStone crab claws might be a Florida delicacy, but the reality behind the dish is pretty tough to swallow. Even with strict fishing seasons and size limits, stone crab populations are dropping fast—mostly because crabs lose their claws (and often their lives) in the process. Most don’t survive after being declawed, and some fishing methods even harm protected dolphins. If you’re craving crab, blue crabs from northern states or Dungeness from the West Coast are more sustainable choices. Would you change your order to help protect local wildlife and seafood for the future? #Food #FloridaSeafood #SustainableEating00Share
