Best. Bar. Food. In. History.
In going full Forrest, I've had snow crab, stone crab, blue crab, stuffed crab, cramp Imperial, crab wontons, crab salad, and a host of crab soups....but never a crab pretzel. Never heard of it.
Googled it, and it looks damned pretty good though. I'll have to add that to my to-try list.
Haven't gotten around to trying soft-shell crab either, come to think of it. I'd love to try one. Getting past the giant, fried BUG appearance should be easy enough for a country gal who cooks the world's best turkey necks...lol.
Being a Native Marylander - I have to admit, I've never had a soft shell before. Totally not interested at all. That looks gross. It's even weirder when they make a sandwich out of one.
But the crab pretzel? I can and do make those. Usually, after I've eaten my fill out of a bushel, I will sit in front of the tv and pick the lump crab meat from the uneaten crabs. I'll end up with a huge amount left over. I make crab cakes, cream of crab soup and of course, crab pretzels.
I think it's also some sort of requirement for anyone living in Maryland to have some Old Bay on hand. Me? I have a few containers of the stuff. Goes great on grilled corn on the cob and French fries as well.
