Great stone crab at a great price in Fort Lauderdale?

I just moved to Fort Lauderdale and I am looking for a great place for excellent quality stone crab. Most places for some ridiculous reason are now charging BY THE OUNCE! I was charged $3 an ounce ($48 per pound!) at Trina recently and the claws were not even the claimed "jumbo" - they were about mediums. And another establishment wanted $3.50 an ounce! That is ridiculous. I mean I love places like Joe's and Monty's used to have all-you-could-eat, years ago, but what are the options now without dropping $100 and still being hungry? Any in Fort Lauderdale?

      Thanks. Not familiar with any of these places. I assume the $20 for jumbos means $20 a pound?

        yes and that would be for 2-3 claws per pound
        they make their own sauce and it's delicious
        recommend calling first, as they sell out quickly

        I think Kelly's Landing has stone crab claw specials on Tues. and Wed. nights. You'd have to call to verify.

              I think the AYCE crab at Catfish Dewey's is Snow Crab and not Stones. I could be wrong but that's what I remember from my last visit. They also sell Stones but not AYCE.

                Alfred G - It's both although they run short of Stone Crab on some nights. The AYCE Stones are an every night item when available (http://www.catfishdeweys.com/blog.html). The Snow Crab AYCE is on Thursdays and Sundays (see the right side of the menu: http://www.catfishdeweys.com/menu.html

                )
