- Thaw Properly: If your claws are frozen, be sure to thaw them completely in the refrigerator before serving. This ensures they maintain their delicate flavor and texture.
- Balance the Sauce: When mixing your mustard sauce, taste as you go! Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to find the perfect balance that complements the sweetness of the crab.
- Presentation Matters: Arrange the claws artfully on a platter and serve the mustard sauce in a small bowl for dipping. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh parsley for an inviting look.
- Serve Chilled: For the best experience, serve the stone crab claws chilled. This enhances their natural sweetness and pairs beautifully with the tangy mustard sauce.
- Make it a Feast: Consider serving this dish with crusty bread or a refreshing salad to round out your seafood feast!
