Golden Crab Anyone

[Bottom Knocker]

I had these years ago in Cocoa Beach FL. AYCA.  They were delicious. simialr to snow crab but bigger and sweeter.

Have not heard or seen in a while.  Would love to find a source.

Here is a link I found:

I live in South Florida and have also been fortunate enough to try Golden Crabs. Actually ran into a man who was selling them at a farmers market, they were pretty reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. I have also found them in Islandmorda in the Keys at an AYCE place best deal going! Apparently they live out really far and only a few people fish for them. Thats my 2 cents!

I myself have never heard of such a crab - do you have a picture - how large are they?

Oh BTW every time I give my 2 cents I think some one makes a penny on me cause they only every give me a penny for my thoughts.

I say this in humor - carry it with ya - I am not the originator of the statement - just thought it was funny and could not wait to use it.

Thanks for the opportunity to use it and please tell me more about those golden crabs - I will be using Google to find out more on my own.

I'll bet ya were thinking how cool it would be to have it mounted on the GSOP award huh??

Rustic Inn need Fort Lauderdale airport has Golden’s on their menu. Best crab I’ve ever had. They have another location up in Jupiter (for non-locals, that’s near West Palm Beach), so I’d assume they’re on the menu there, as well. Kinda expensive, but worth the price.
