- 1cup mayonnaise
- 2teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1teaspoon A1 sauce
- ⅛cup light cream
- Pinch salt
Preparation

- The recipe for the stone crabs themselves is to buy and serve them with the mustard sauce. They are already cooked and should not be heated. Stone crabs are available at most fishmarkets and specialty markets. You should plan on five or six stone crab claws per person. To crack the shells, place the claws in a small bag and gently hit them with a hammer or wooden mallet. Don't hit them too hard; you want to avoid jamming the shells into the meat.

Rating: A Made 1/11/24. Served with salmon patties per NYT recipe. Didn’t have A1 so omitted. Used a little extra worsteshire sauce. Could use crème fraiche in lieu of cream and some of the mayo.
Yes, this is the stone crab sauce, (Joe’s), that you’re looking for. Make sure you chill it well and taste/adjust before serving.
This sauce is great to dress anything that can benefit from a touch of mustard and brilliant with the perfect bite to accentuate the juicy sweetness of stone crabs.
