<p>navy2010: The greenish-yellow stuff is called the “mustard” (liver?) --SOME people eat that, but most do not. I would not recommend it! And definitely DON’T eat the gills (lungs, devil fingers)! Scrape all that off with your knife. </p>
<p>When the crabs are “running heavy”, it means they have alot of meat in them. All crabs are priced by size tip-to-tip: Small - Medium - Large - Jumbo (which are rare to find nowadays). If the Med’s are heavy that day, it is usually a better buy than lighter Large crabs.</p>
<p>Eating crabs is a liesurely process – not meant to be rushed through. Nothing beats a couple of hours picking crabs with family and friends!</p>
