The old knife trick to remove stone crab claws 🦀🔪. This ensures a clean break and the best chance for claw regeneration. You can also break the claws off by hand but you have to do it properly so you don’t rip the socket out of the body. We can only harvest the claws (if legal size), hence the crab going back in the water. You might wonder how a clawless crab survives but we catch a number of crabs without claws pretty much every time we check our recreational traps. They go into full scavenge
