Watcha eating?

Have you ever had (Gulf) Stone Crab Claws ?...Only the claws are harvested and the crab lives to regenerate new claws for the next season...(these crabs can not swim)

No. Haven't tried that. I am not a big fan of King Crab though. I love blue crab if someone else is doing the picking. I like Chesapeake style crab cake too, but my favorite crab dish is soft shell crab on a bun, a dab of tartar sauce and with a side of slaw.

When I was a kid we lived in the Northeast and we would get lobster when they were shedding their shells. Fried clams were good too, whole clams with the bellies.

Fried clams are great. Clam strips (without the bellies) are an abomination. Steamers are also wonderful as are mussels. I only eat oysters raw in the US but a fabulous oyster omelet can be had in Singapore as street food. About dozen fresh oysters just tossed in with the eggs and served with a bit of sambal (hot sauce). Great.

Stone Crab (claws) are quite different than King (Red) crab...very succulent and unique flavor mostly eaten with drawn butter or a mustard sauce...

I believe it. I just had the mental image of King crab when you mentioned the claws. And, in general, I prefer the body meat in lobster and crab to the claws. Not a big deal, I like both, but that is one reason I have soft shell crab high on my list of favorite seafood. I'll always choose a lobster tail over claw meat too. Claw meat is rubbery unless perfectly cooked.

The rubarb is coming back to life... I should get my first stalks of the season in a couple of days.

I suppose it is a little plain, but I'll chop up a cup, or small bowl full.
Add a scoop of sugar.
And toss it in the microwave for a minute or two.
