Let me preface this by saying that my absolute favorite food is stone crab claws. I consider them to be manna from heaven. I'd eat them three times a week if I could.
As Miami is part of my territory for work, I'm down there quite a bit. A couple of times I have been traveling with management with expense accounts and they have taken me to Joe's. Joe's has excellent stone crab claws.
But here's the thing, all stone crab claws ar excellent unless they are spoiled. They alll taste the same. Joe's doesn't cook their claws themselves, no one does. Claws are cooked by the crabber then sold. The shells are really thick, no flavoring gets through to the meat, which doesn't need any flavor added, it's perfect already.
Joe's is very, very expensive. Maybe you are paying for the atmosphere, which is cool if thats what you are into, but you aren't paying for better stone crab claws. All stone crab claws, unless Frozen or something, are the same.
