Dude...in this step, you're rinsing out the crab mustard! That stuff makes half the taste!

I agree 100%. Some people are just ignorant and to squeamish about the innards of the crab . Yet what they don't know is that they may be eating it when they go out to eat cause most GOOD restaurants use it as a sauce. All they need is to know how to prepare it.

I love crab, but personally I never cared for the mustard very much...

Yeah, but it's an acquired taste. People who need crab-cooking instructions definitely won't like it. :-)
