Description
The meat inside the claws of florida stone crab (Menippe mercenaria) is considered a delicacy. Interestingly, they have evolved the ability to self-amputate and grow back a claw when threatened by a predator. Florida stone crab meat is therefore sustainably harvested for human consumption in Florida, one claw at a time, totaling over 3000000 lb per year!
