Stone crabs are cooked immediately after being caught but are usually not frozen, while most other crabs eaten in the US are flash frozen at sea. As such stone crabs need to be eaten in season and very soon after being caught, while king, snow, and dungeoness etc are pretty good and consistent no matter when or where you have them.
