Stone Crab Claw Season Is Back, Pinchers Lakewood Ranch Kicking It Off With “Stone Crab Fest"”

Oct. 3, 2012 - PRLog -- The 2012 stone crab season is just around the corner and Pinchers Crab Shack, the locally owned and operated collection of seven seafood restaurants, is inviting everyone to come out and celebrate! The second largest purveyor of stone crab claws in the country; Pinchers is hosting the 2012 Stone Crab Festival on Saturday, October 20th from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. at their Lakewood Ranch Main Street mall location.

Pinchers Crab Shack is the ideal place to experience stone crabs this season with “you can’t fake fresh” as their company motto and a main focus on superior quality control. As the largest retail stone crab purveyor on the West Coast of Florida and the second largest in the country, they own The Island Crab Company, a seafood wholesaler and distribution facility in Pine Island, Florida.

Knowing that stone crabs are the only renewable resource in the water, Island Crab Company expertly crabs our local waters for Pinchers providing their customers the freshest product as they control the seafood from the water to the table. Guests can purchase claws to eat at any of their seven locations, or purchase some to take home from one of their in-store seafood markets.

Pinchers will be delivering fresh stone crab claws straight off the boat to all of their locations all weekend long – and throughout season. Claws and Pinchers favorites will be served throughout the event and will be accompanied by live music performed by Mike Imbasciani and his BluezRockerz Band from noon to 4 p.m. and the Dazzling Delrays from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday, October 20th.  The entire day is brought to you by Bud Light, Lakewood Ranch Main Street, Pinchers Crab Shack and Texas Tony’s BBQ.
