Back in time, when I thought I knew everything, my introduction to stone crab was at Joe's and I thought they were the best.
The Triad blows Joe's right out of the water. Â It's way better - obviously cheaper, but the crabs taste like the boat just pulled up to the dock, so screw the price. Â Freshness is guaranteed.
Overlooking a channel in the Everglades, off the beaten path. Â No crowds, no wait. Â We sat at a picnic table drinking beers diving into these bad boys - soaking them in drawn butter and unashamed of the mess we were creating. Â The side orders are a joke - not that they were bad, but when you can indulge in all-you-can-eat stone crab, the sides are merely an after thought.
Key lime pie was fresh and home-made. Â
It's not a bad ride out here from Miami-Fort Launderdale. Â Definitely worth a visit.
