    In regards to the mustard of the crab, take what he says of "Don't throw it out" with a grain of salt. While it is definitely delicious, depending on where you are and/or what time of year it is, throwing it out and not eating it is actually the better thing to do. The mustard of the crab can contain pollutants which contain toxins which are heat resistant.

    About oysters : Here in France, we do not keep the initial "juice" (which is essentially sea water or whatever type of water it has spent the few several days or weeks) but we rather discard it. We then lay the oyster flat and a second juice will appear which is much tastier and will also make the oyster meat more firm.

      With crabs and related things like lobsters, they can choose to detach legs and such anyway as a defence, similar to lizards and their tails, so it makes sense that they are easy to pull apart. You shouldn't find it insane, it's not exactly a secret that they can do this.

    @MoonlightPlays Před rokem +15

    Another tip, if you try to open up a crab especially the claw part but you don't have gloves nor scissors nearby, the easiest way to do it is to bite the exoskeletons off. No you do not eat them, you just bite them hard enough until you hear a crack, then open them up to get the meat.

I hope my physical state is enough to sway the jury to my side, the outcome of this case will dictate my life going forward as I have currently lost everything; my job as an Olympic sprinter, my house entirely made up of stairs, and every single cent that I own went towards the blood-sucking lawyers who are doing a pathetic job and aiding me in my legal endeavours.
