Recipe by Pat Savoie

Our family always enjoys a day of crabbing in Cameron. Slowly pulling in the string and swiping the net underneath just in time never fails to thrill. And hey, you never know when you’ll catch a stingray!
While it’s common to boil crabs or put them in a gumbo, BBQ Crabs are a special treat worthy of dinner guests.
