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.
I give Maryland crab soup a definite edge over She-crab soup, though Crab & Corn chowder is my favorite.
They're all good though. I'm just crazy for soup, tbh.
And yeah, you're likely to find a rusty-ass can of Old Bay in many folks' cabinets in this neck of the woods....I've got my mine back there somewhere.
Seems to be the case in NC around Pasqotank County and the Outer Banks when I go visiting folks there as well.
I'll be in OBX at the end of July when we go on vacation this year and Old Bay is coming with us
It's always been a staple in my house growing up and I really can't live without it.
