Just finished off some stone crab claws - no egg but curious if anyone has done anything eggy with these. Sure wish I lived in FL this time of year.

    Eggin in Peoria,
    Aaaahhh, you have found the season is open. Us locals (I live near Crystal River, FL) know that stone crabs are a true delicacy. In many opinion, including mine, they are better than Lobster (referred to as sea roaches by us rednecks).[p]When it comes to stone crab claws, I prefer the 'floaters'. Floaters are the claws that never get sold at market. They are flawed and usually cracked from the harvest and handling. To get floaters, one must know the crabber because these are the ones that usually end up on his/her table![p]I have cooked these on the egg indirect (inverted plate setter with drip pan). NO SMOKE and a well established fire. You don't want any smoke on these. Egg at about 300-325, it takes about 4-5 minutes. While the egg is warming, I roast some garlic in olive oil and also use a small dish to melt butter.[p]MMMMMMMMMM - guess what I had for dinner last night! LOL[p]Banker John

    Eggin in Peoria,
    Next time try this sauce, very famous here in Florida.[p]
    Crab, Stone, Sauce, Mustard

    This is the sauce served at Joe's Stone Crab in Miami. To make an even easier sauce, just mix regular jarred brown mustard to taste into jarred mayonnaise.
    [p]1 Tbs Colman's dry mustard, or to taste
    1 cup mayonnaise
    2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
    1 tsp A-1 Sauce
    1/4 cup heavy cream or milk
    Salt to taste



    Place the mustard in a small mixing bowl. Whisk in the mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, A-1 Sauce, cream and a pinch of salt. Mix until well blended and creamy. If you'd like a little more mustardy bite, whisk in about 1/2 teaspoon more dry mustard. Chill the sauce, covered, until serving. Makes about 1 cup.

    Banker John,[p]Stone Crabs, Royal Reds and Grouper Sandwiches. Three reasons I visit Florida. I really like the Crystal River area.
