I had my mind set on seafood, so I ordered the seafood trio ($30), which comes with salmon, two tiger shrimp and two scallops.<\/p>\n<p>Your waiter will warn you that the shrimp and scallop take little time to cook on the 750-degree stone slab. (If you order steak, they&#8217;ll tell you to slice the steak to make it cook more quickly.)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-4763\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_20180923_175959000-265x300.jpg\" alt=\"img_20180923_175959000\" width=\"265\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_20180923_175959000-265x300.jpg 265w, https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_20180923_175959000-768x868.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_20180923_175959000-906x1024.jpg 906w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 265px) 100vw, 265px\" \/>I have no criticism of the preparation, since I cooked the food myself, but I would have liked some oil or butter, as the food stuck to the stone. I thought the salmon, shrimp and scallops were tasty, but they needed seasoning. Fortunately, you get your choice of dipping sauces, and they helped a lot.<\/p>\n<p>The entrees also come with a medley of vegetables that you can cook, as well as fries or baby potatoes.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the menu has appetizers, salads and desserts. Since I wasn&#8217;t full from the meal, I ordered the hot rock fudge volcano ($12), a decadent ensemble of cake, ice cream, waffle cones (the volcano) and licorice (the lava) served on a cold stone that you can further enhance with caramel, fudge and sprinkles.<\/p>\n<p>Hot Rocks serves dinner every day in the summer and Thursday through Saturday in the off-season.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View Menu, Reviews, Photos &amp; Information about Hot Rocks, Wisconsin Dells and other Restaurants in Wisconsin Dells\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zomato.com\/wisconsin-dells-wi\/hot-rocks-wisconsin-dells\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none; width: 130px; height: 36px; padding: 0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zomato.com\/logo\/18078898\/minilink\" alt=\"Hot Rocks Menu, Reviews, Photos, Location and Info - Zomato\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crabby&#8217;s was a seafood restaurant in Wisconsin Dells that in 2016 began offering\u00a0heated rocks as a method of cooking.
