Ask Eater: Is It OK to Eat Stone Crabs Outside of Stone Crab Season?
Briefly

"Eating stone crabs outside of the season is entirely ok and legal—as long as they're from frozen stock. Once harvested, stone crab claws are flash-frozen and stored to maintain freshness."
"Stone crab season is strictly regulated to protect the species and ensure a sustainable population. The off-season allows the crabs to recover... harvesting them outside of the season is illegal in Florida."
