Stone crab claws · Miami
Chilled Florida stone crab claws with mustard sauce, served on shaved ice from October 15 to May 1, the dish that defines Joe's Stone Crab and Miami's stone crab season.
Joe Weiss opened Joe's in 1913 on Miami Beach as a small lunch counter; the stone crab arrived in 1921 when a Harvard ichthyologist suggested the crabs could be boiled and chilled. Florida law allows only one claw per crab to be harvested; the crab regrows the lost claw and is returned to the water. Joe's Stone Crab opens for the season every October 15.
