While we were in Miami, we visited Joe's Stone Crab as planned on Miami Beach. It's a busy place with lots of people eating lots of seafood. While we were there, our waiter, who looked a LOT like Wayne Brady, pointed out 2 other tables of tourists from California. Our meal consisted of the following:
Assorted bread and butter
Shrimp Cocktail (they were humungous!)
Clam Chowder (Oh My Gosh - the best I've ever had. My mouth is watering just thinking about it right now.)
All You Can Eat - Medium Stone Crab
Large Stone Crab
Hashbrowns
Since the stone crabs are out of season, they weren't as good as when John was here in March. Our Wayne Brady waiter said that they have a huge warehouse on site that is filled to the ceiling with stone crab, flash frozen. It's enough to cover them for 3 years worth of business without ever having to go fishing for them again.
But I must rave about the clam chowder. Have you ever had something taste so good you think to yourself a day later, "It was awesome, but it can't taste that good again the 2nd time around, now that I've tried it." Well, we tried it again. We went back the next night solely for clam chowder (and decided to try their steamed crab, which was pretty good, too). But I have to say that the 2nd bowl of clam chowder was just as amazing as the 1st. I'm so craving it right now. It was creamy, but not too thick. It had a good amount of potatoes and clams and not too much to be overpowering. Yum! I'd have to recommend that over the stone crab. If I can order it and have it shipped, I probably would.
