Impromptu Crab Feed

When friends Charlie and Josh caught some rock crabs recently at a water adventure camp in Half Moon Bay, California they weren’t sure what to do with them (or whether their parents wanted to deal with the mess of boiling and cleaning them inside). Happily, the Wood Stone oven was already fired up for a casual pizza dinner so they brought them over. With a splash of beer and some Old Bay Seasoning, the crabs were covered and in the oven to roast in a matter of minutes, which is about how long they took to cook. The combination of steaming and roasting in the hot oven produced tender and moist crabmeat that took everyone’s attention away from pizza for a while. Can’t wait for Dungeness season.
