Long before stone crab became a nationally recognized delicacy, it was a staple in Everglades City. Generations of local fishermen perfected the craft of harvesting, cracking, and enjoying fresh stone crab claws, passing down their knowledge from one family to the next. These early crabbers worked with the tides, the weather, and the rhythm of the Gulf of Mexico to deliver some of the freshest seafood in Florida.
CrabFather carries this legacy forward with a deeply personal touch. Our Fishermen’s Grade™ 10-pound bags are a trademarked promise of fairness, freshness, and quality in every order. Each bag is carefully balanced to include a mix of sizes from the day’s catch, ensuring that every customer receives a fair and flavorful selection. No one gets all the big claws, and no one gets all the small ones—just a perfect representation of what the Gulf has to offer that day.
But CrabFather is about more than just crabs. Jonathan, the founder, has fished the waters of Everglades City since 1993. Rising with the sun, he heads out in his boat, coffee in hand, to catch the best stone crabs the Gulf has to offer. Today, Jonathan shares this passion with his young son Milan, forming a father-son duo that brings a personal touch to every bag of claws. Milan’s curiosity and enthusiasm make each order feel like a shared family adventure.
