The Complete Road Trip Week Coverage on Eater PDX | Eater Portland

"At The Stephanie Inn in Cannon Beach, executive chef Aaron Bedard has worked there for more than a decade (over 3,650 days) and emphasizes the unbeatable freshness of crab straight from the bay; Bedard even leads culinary crabbing tours for the Inn’s guests. He recalls that when he first moved to Cannon Beach he and his friends would rent a boat out of Brighton Marina, get out in the sunshine, drink cold beer, and just enjoy the outdoors. Among Oregon seafood, Dungeness crab is highlighted as a primary attraction, with huge nuggets of meat that are easy to withdraw from the legs, and a trip to the Oregon coast reveals a particularly robust crop." - Eater Staff
