This tradition has been passed on through the decades in Charm City, from generation to generation. Thanksgiving just doesn't feel complete without a side of sauerkraut.

2. Old Bay on everything

We LOVE Old Bay. You know what? Love may not be a strong enough word. You'll find this iconic seasoning on everything, from corn, to fries, and more.

3. Seafood Bloody Mary

If my bloody mary isn't loaded with seafood, I don't want it. Outsiders would gasp at this crazy display but to us, this is a picture perfect meal.

4. Marshmallow on Sno-balls

Ah, sno-balls. The summer treat that's only made better with a heaping pile of marshmallow. Don't knock it 'til you try it.

5. Crab on everything

We like crab on fries, in our omelets, on top of pasta, etc. We just can't get enough.

6. Coddie

This old-school food includes cod sandwiched between two saltines with a splash of mustard. You can still find coddies at a few places throughout Charm City and we recommond giving 'em a chance.

7. Crab Chips

It's fun watching my out-of-state friends gag while I eat crab chips. If you're not from here, you just don't understand.

8. Crab Mac and Cheese Dog

We couldn't leave out this iconic Camden Yards dish. It's messy but worth the effort.
