That's why restaurants so rarely have fresh soft shell. What you ate was
not a soft shell crab. It's known as a paper-shell crab and not so good.

That didn't "still have bit of exoskeleton." That was a soft shell that
stayed alive too long. What you crunched on was the new shell forming.

You got ripped off paying for a soft-shell crab meal if that's what you ate.
