The History of the Miami & Ft. Lauderdale Areas Most Famous Seafood Restaurant

Billy has spent more than 30 years learning about and working with stone crabs. Soon after moving with his parents to South Florida in 1967, he met and married the daughter of the owner of Joe's Stone Crabs in Miami. Billy then went to work for Joe's as manager of the company's wholesale division. Seven years later, Billy left Joe's Stone Crabs to open a wholesale and retail stone crab business of his own in Miami Springs. A restaurant on the premises with an all-you-can-eat stone crabs concept soon followed. For many years, Billy's Stone Crabs on the Circle in the Springs was an institution. 
In 1981, Billy sold that restaurant and opened Billy's on Biscayne Bay, a waterfront seafood restaurant on the 79th Street Causeway in Miami, a much larger facility nestled on the water. In 1995, he opened Billy's Stone Crabs Restaurant in Hollywood another fine spot for waterfront dining

The emergence of overnight refrigerated carriers in the mid 1980s made it possible to ship fresh stone crab claws in a single day to customers all over the world. Today, Billy supplies hotels, restaurants and country clubs, as well as consumers, from around the globe.
