If you’re a seafood lover in Florida (or just someone who knows what good tastes like), you’ve probably been counting down the days until stone crab season swings back around. Every year, fans of these sweet, meaty claws Google one burning question: When is stone crab season in Florida? Let’s crack into it.
🦀 Florida Stone Crab Season Dates for 2025
The 2025 Florida stone crab season officially opens on October 15, 2025, and runs through May 1, 2026. That’s your golden window to enjoy the freshest Florida stone crabs—legally harvested and sustainably managed.
During this period, crabbers up and down the Gulf Coast set their traps from Everglades City to Key West, carefully removing claws before releasing the crabs back into the wild. Those claws regenerate naturally, which makes stone crabbing one of the most sustainable seafood practices in the country.
🏝️ Where Florida Stone Crabs Come From
The heart of stone crab country beats in Everglades City, where generations of crabbers have worked the warm coastal waters for decades. It’s a craft passed down through families—and CrabFather is proud to carry that tradition forward.
Every claw you order from CrabFather.com comes straight from these pristine Florida waters. We work with local fishermen daily to deliver claws that are cracked, packed, and shipped fresh to your door—never frozen, never farmed, always Floridian.
