Miami Beach Stories
Joe's Stone Crab: the crab nobody wanted, served on a porch.
· 2 min read · Miami Beach
In 1913 Joe Weiss served fish off a small porch on a near-empty beach. When stone crabs were called inedible, he figured out how to crack and chill them, and Joe's Stone Crab became a century-old Miami institution that still draws lines down the block.
