PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – What is usually a highly sought after seafood menu item, turned into one of the most expensive dishes offered in restaurants throughout South Florida.
Stone Crab season ends on Wednesday and fishermen and market managers are already calling this one of the worst seasons in decades.
"It's the worst supply we've ever seen in 30 years," said Steve Gyland, owner of Cod & Capers Seafood Market.
Gyland said fishermen just are not finding the sought after claw. As a result, Gyland said prices are up and sales are down 25% at his market. He said it is worse for those spending the time and money to catch Stone Crab.
