How to Eat a Crab!

I was fascinated to see my Filipina wife crack open and eat a crab. I used to catch and eat crabs, but now I realize I threw most of the food away! Watch!

Q: What is the yellow stuff inside a cooked crab? Some people call it "mustard." Is it fat?

A: Contrary to popular belief, the "mustard" is not fat, it's actually the crab's hepatopancreas, a main component of the crab's digestive system.

The hepatopancreas is a gland that functions as both liver and pancreas. It produces digestive enzymes and is responsible for filtering the crab's blood.

The orange thing is NOT fat, it's the eggs since it's a female...

@jcbmnd11 YES, it is!!! Crab meat goes well with rice. Make sure you cook your crabs with some water and salt to taste. When seasoned right, you don't need a dip.  (7/25/11)
