Grimm's Stone Crab - EVERGLADES CITY

Nice and fresh Stone Crab claws. Price is good, but it is a long drive from home.

Best stone crabs in south fl. Make sure you get one of their crackers. Save time and keeps crabs fresh if you're traveling.

As soon as October first arrives every year, my wife gets excited since it's her birthday month.... but for me, I get excited because I know Stone Crab season is right around the corner.October 15 is the magic day... and before the date even arrives my wife and I are already talking about our yearly Stone Crab day trip across Alligator Alley from the east coast.Of course we can get Stone Crabs locally to our location (we live on the east coast)... there are plenty of options from fish markets to plenty of restaurants including some famous ones like Joes Stone Crab; can even go register some traps and get them ourselves.... But there is something about visiting the quirky but charming town of Everglades City... It's a small town with lots of fishing and some tourism (airboats and the Everglades National Park)... It's like a hotspot for fresh Stone Crabs and Grimms is one of our favorite places.We'll eat in town but we ALWAYS make our way over to Grimm's to get load up a few pounds into our cooler and return home.What I really appreciate about Grimm's is beyond the delicious sweet tasting crabmeat... it's the hospitality. The guys that have helped us recently and in the past is always the same thing... quiet, laid back kinda of guys but ask one question and they are making suggestions and eager to please; they generally want you to enjoy your purchase and return in the future. Our visit the other day was no different... we requested only a portion of our order to be cracked and he right away explained to eat the cracked within a day and how to store the others and how long they'd be good for... he didn't nickel and dime us when we asked for ice; I think he skipped charging us for the Mustard Sauce since we ordered so many pounds. And of course.... most importantly, the freshness and taste... let's put it this way, Grimm's has it's own boats and traps. Once they take the claws and return the crab to the sea to live another day, they return to the docks and cook the claws immediately and pack on ice immediately afterwards; and then they are sold ! GRIMM'S is as fresh as it can be !

The stone crab claws are fresh and the service is great. They're priced reasonably too! We'll be coming back.

Great service and always a great price. Fun roadtrip to visit Everglades City.
