Joe's Stone Crab, Miami

Expensive. They’re famous for their stone crabs, but just about everything on the menu is fantastic. My favourite dish is their asian sesame salmon steak. Expect a VERY long queue (unless you 'know someone’). Either come very early, very late, or just put your name on the list and return an hour or two later. But it’s usually worth the wait.

The Florida stone crab are legal for harvest from October 15 until May 15. During the 1960s, the species was almost exterminated by overfishing, but an eight-year moratorium was imposed and the population was restored. So, every year between October and May, the restaurants of Miami serve delicious stone crab. Of all restaurants, Joe’s does the best. The stone crab claws are huge, the meat is thick and tasty. If you can eat more than 4 claws you are a better man than me! Service is great at Joe’s and they are very helpful, particularly when coming across English men with letter experience of cracking crab shells!

Any easy 5 stars.

Best stonecrabs in Miami, fresh and delicious! A little bit expensive but the quality is it worth. Other seafood available, too. But Joe’s is famous for it’s stonecrabs.
Another recommendatio: Try out the cheesecake!
