Which crab species is only used for its claws and not generally sold whole?
  1. Spider crab
  2. King crab
  3. Snow crab
  4. Stone crab

Answer: D - The stone crab has the capacity to regenerate claws; most fisheries harvest the claw only and return the live crab to the water to regenerate (a process which takes around 18 months). Stone crab claws are available fresh or precooked and frozen.
