How to Crack Stone Crab Claws |
Frenchy's Stone Crab Claws are delicious and full of succulent meat. To fully enjoy your meal, here are just a few suggestions to follow on how to best crack, serve and enjoy.
-
Hold the crab claw in the palm of your hand, using a kitchen towel or something similar to protect your hand and catch excess shell.
-
Using the back of a large spoon, lightly strike the back or rounded side of the two knuckles with a quick snapping motion. The shell should be cracked gently, so the stone crab meat stays intact and is not pierced by its shell.
-
Peel off the shells and gently remove the meat. Please Note: There is a hard center membrane inside the claw, so when eating, pull or scrape the meat off of the membrane.
-
Serve with slices of lemon, drawn butter or mustard mayonnaise sauce.
