yes, definitely. The biggest challenge with using our crabs along the CA coast though is that their shells are usually covered with all kinds of crap you don't want in a stock (like barnacles and seaweed). If you can get the shells really clean, it will work fine using the same method.
The trick to a good seafood or shellfish stock is to NOT let it boil too long. No more than 20 minutes. Also don't let the sides burn (happens if the flame is too high for the pot you are using).
