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.

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.

[@anishamohanty3287]

I didn't think I'd have any use for these skills cause I don't cook seafood as much but this one time my uncle teased me saying I won't be able to de-shell a crab and I proceeded to show him how to do it😁

My chiropractor never heard the crack and kept going. I lost all mobility in the lower half of my body that day. I now lay here, paralysed, using voice to text to write this comment, whilst drowning in legal documents as the chiropractor has lawyered up and doing everything in his power to keep his practice. 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. I need a win, and I pray I’ll get it here.

hey guys guess what "The name geoduck is derived from a Lushootseed (Nisqually) word gʷídəq either a word composed of a first element of unknown meaning and əq meaning "genitals" (referring to the shape of the clam), or a phrase meaning "dig deep", or perhaps both, as a double entendre. It is sometimes known as the mud duck, king clam or, when translated literally from Chinese, the elephant-trunk clam." so it IS called penis clam
