nice clean break on both claws, crab will live and regenerate legal claws in roughly a year and a half.

probaly been frozen awhile or you overheated, claws are cooked and chilled the day they are harvested. Don't need to boil already cooked claws just reheat gently or eat cold. They are usually very sweet. I actually prefer blue crabs because of the sweetness, however my wife prefers stone crabs.

I'm guessing there isn't much mud since the pots come surfing in at 8 knots.

Not too much mud where I crab, hard bottom and sand. The crew doesn't have to lift and shake the trap, just open the lid and pull out crabs. They usually call me Art unless I'm pitching a fit. They wait untill I cool off, then it's A1. It's all good.
