Memories of Stone Crab Claws and A Food Gal Giveaway
Having grown up in San Francisco, I am an avowed Dungeness crab gal through and through.
Some people may consider lobster the ultimate luxury ingredient. But I think Dungeness is far superior with its fluffy, sweet meat.
That being said, though, I have dabbled with stone crab claws.
When you worked in South Florida for four years as I did, you can’t help but fall for these big, meaty claws.
On a lowly newspaper reporter’s salary, pricey stone crab claws were a rare treat.
But the once or twice that I did splurge on them, I must say they sure satisfied, especially dunked in mustardy mayo.
Thanks to Anderson Seafoods, I got to relive that memory recently.
The Orange County seafood distributor, which overnights fresh and frozen seafood right to your door, sent me a sample of real-deal Florida stone crab claws to try.
They’re ready to eat once they arrive. All I did was whip up my own mustard-mayo sauce before digging in, happily.
I may be a California gal, but there just might be a little bit of Florida still in me. Just maybe.
