About Stone Crab Season

Stone crab season opens October 15th each year and runs through May 15th. The majority of Florida stone crab claws are commercially harvested off the southern tip of Florida’s peninsula from Sarasota to Fort Lauderdale. Stone crabs are harvested for their mouth-watering claws and only the claws of the stone crab are removed. The stone crab is then returned to the water where it will regenerate new claws within 18 months.

Stone crab claws are cooked immediately after harvest, and sold either fresh cooked or frozen. Fresh cooked can be eaten within three to four days if packed in ice or stored in the coldest part of a refrigerator.

About Fulton’s Crab House

The freshest catch from around the world turns up in the inspired dishes of the nautically themed Fulton’s Crab House located at Downtown Disney® Pleasure Island at the Walt Disney World® Resort. Snow crab, blue crab and Alaska King Crab are specialties on the three dining decks of the grand Empress Lilly Riverboat, named for Walt Disney’s wife, Lilly. Each deck offers an expansive view of the Downtown Disney waterfront, and guests can book special-event dining on the riverboat’s third floor.
