And also, other area restaurants have similar quality stone crabs and don't treat you like dirt if you are not a sports celebrity or a politician.
There are several restaurants on the Miami River that get the crab well before Joe's fresh off the boat every morning. ^
When I tried to get there in Dec the roads were closed and torn up, I sure hope the markets/bars there on the river stay in business.
