I'm Kyle Franklin. I catch these claws myself — my boat, my license, my hands on every trap.
There's no middleman between my traps and your table. I run my own commercial license out of St. Petersburg, work the Tampa Bay water I've known my whole life, and sell straight to home cooks and buyers who care where their catch comes from.
That's the whole idea of Frank's: you're not buying from a brand at arm's length. You're buying from the fisherman who pulled the claw out of the Gulf that morning.
Only the claws are taken. The crab goes back to the water and grows them again.
Stone crabs regrow harvested claws — so a responsibly worked fishery keeps producing, season after season. It's why premium and international buyers can source here with a clear conscience.
