What is Fishermen’s Grade™?
Fishermen’s Grade™ is Crabfather’s signature offering. It includes a balanced mix of crab sizes from the daily catch to ensure fairness and freshness. Jonathan personally ensures that no one ends up with only small or large crabs—it’s always an even distribution.
What products does Crabfather.com offer?
Crabfather.com specializes in freshly caught Stone Crab claws delivered directly from Everglades City, where Jonathan has been running his Stone Crab operation since 1993.
Home of the world-famous 10-pound bag of Fishermen’s Grade™:
“I only sell Fishermen’s Grade™, which is my trademark. It’s a mix of the day’s catch divided evenly among all orders. My focus is to deliver the crabs as quickly as possible with minimal handling. I cannot guarantee specific sizes but will ensure fairness in distribution. Whether they run smaller or bigger, they will always be the freshest—and I’ve had very few complaints over the years!”
