Stone-Crab
Stone Crab Season at A Fish Called Avalon
An Iconic South Beach Tradition Returns
Every fall, Miami Beach celebrates one of its most cherished rituals — the arrival of Florida Stone Crab Season. From October 15 through May 1, these sweet, succulent claws take center stage at A Fish Called Avalon, where Chef Kal serves them chilled to perfection with his signature three-mustard horseradish sauce — a vibrant, coastal twist on a beloved classic.
A Taste of the Season
Harvested from the warm waters of the Gulf and Florida Keys, stone crabs are prized for their delicate flavor and sustainable harvest: only the claws are taken before the crabs are returned to the ocean to regenerate. It’s seafood that tells a story — one of respect, renewal, and true Florida flavor.
At A Fish Called Avalon, this local delicacy becomes an art form. Enjoy fresh, chilled claws paired with crisp white wine, a sparkling ocean breeze, and the timeless Art Deco energy of Ocean Drive. It’s more than a meal — it’s Miami on a plate.
The Perfect Pairing
Whether shared as a starter or savored as the star of your evening, our stone crab claws are best enjoyed alongside:
- A glass of Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc
- Chef Kal’s signature three-mustard horseradish sauce
- The rhythm of the waves and the glow of Ocean Drive at sunset
Season: October 15 – May 1
Stone crab season is short — and their flavor, unforgettable. Availability is limited based on daily catch, so reservations are highly recommended.
