I’m similar. I must admit these days I’m not too particular about removing all the shell, even with the larger ones.
Used to spend ages trying to pick off the remains of every leg socket, then one day realised, what does it matter? As you say, the fish won’t care if there’s a few bits of shell on it.
How would they find a crab in the wild?
