T0ffee 06/27/17 11:57:46 PM #20:	https://www.bluecrab.info/cooking_faq.htm 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" (or the "green gland" or "tomalley") is not fat, it's actually the crab's hepatopancreas, a main component of the crab's digestive system. The hepatopancreas is a gland made up of very small branched tubes (ramified tubules) located on both sides of the mid-gut in the main body cavity directly under the top shell and functions as both liver and pancreas. It is involved in producing digestive enzymes and is responsible for filtering impurities from the crab's blood. The "mustard" has a strong taste and is eaten by many people who consider it a delicacy. Personally, I love a bit of "mustard" when I eat crabs. If there's a bit of innards and roe in there then all the better! --- "Splashing water on a pervert is like putting lasers on a shark" - Shiho Shishido \| FC: 2707-2635-3369 \| IGN: Toffee (Moon) / Caramel (Sun) \| <cite>T0ffee posted [p:881939579] in Question a...
