A great reason to be in the Middle Keys this Saturday. That is, if you happen to know someone who likes stone crab claws.

Are you ready to be the fastest to crack and eat 25 stone crab claws? We know at least three who are and plan to be at Keys Fisheries in Marathon Saturday, Nov. 10, for the annual Stone Crab Claw Eating Contest. They include two-time winner Juan Mallen, How to Do Florida’s Chad Crawford and “Check Please’s” Chef Michelle Bernstein. Will one of these win? Or will the title go to someone else? Registration opens at 11 a.m. and the competition begins at noon. #floridakeys #stonecrab
