Stone Crab Season

Stone crab season opens Oct. 15th – you will soon be seeing a host of media stories about this unique Florida delicacy.

Yes, it is true that stone crabs are able to regenerate harvested claws – this is why only the claws are removed and the crab is returned alive to the water.

Want to learn more?

We have just posted an article on the Marine Scene Plus  Trust me you will learn a lot about what many consider to be the greatest seafood delicacy in the world.

Please use the search function on the Marine Scene Plus and you will find a number of other interesting articles on the subject.  You can also find a number of past articles on a variety of fascinating topics.

Remember, we have migrated the old Marine Scene newsletter to this blog-like format. Please make it a habit to check make from time to time for new articles or just browse back through other topics.
