Crabbing in Nehalem Bay, Oregon Dina Avila/EPDXThere’s no fresher crab than the one just pulled from the bay. Executive chef Aaron Bedard has worked at The Stephanie Inn in Cannon Beach for more than a decade, and that means over 3,650 days he could have spent crabbing (Bedard even takes the Inn’s guests on culinary crabbing tours). “My favorite memory of crabbing is when I first moved to Cannon Beach,” Bedard tells Eater. “My friends and I would rent a boat out of Brighton Marina, and we’d get out in the sunshine, drink some cold beer, and just enjoy the outdoors.”
