Stone Crab Prices are a value as Early-Season Supply Surges: The stone crab market is off to a surprisingly soft start this season. After opening in October at the usual price levels, landings ramped up quickly—and supply has been outpacing demand ever since. As a result, colossal claws have fallen to record lows, marking the weakest early-season pricing we’ve seen since 2020.
With more product hitting the docks than the market can absorb, buyers are seeing levels well below typical November–December expectations. If stone crab is on your menu, this is an excellent buying window while the market remains over supplied and pricing stays depressed.
