Joe’s Stone Crab was crowned Florida’s top seafood restaurant! This South Florida staple has been serving succulent seafood, including its iconic stone crabs, for over 100 years. Writers explained what makes it so good:
“Open October through May, when stone crabs are in season, this cavernous South Beach restaurant began serving its eponymous crustaceans – which have rock-hard shells and were previously considered inedible – in 1921, launching what is now a Florida tradition. In addition to massive stone crab claws and crab bisque, the full menu features conch fritters, coconut shrimp, fried grouper, seafood platters, and lobster rolls.”
