re: Are female crabs less desirable?

We picked up 5 dozen (mixed female and male, not 1s but pretty damn nice crabs) for $60. This was the guy handing us these crabs directly off of the boat.
As for preference, a lot of people prefer the females because of the eggs. However, your "selects" and "1s" are always going to be males because they are bigger. I also find that males have a better taste to the meat. Not as grainy and sometimes sweeter.

Buying very large males is less risky than buying smaller ones as far as fat and meat content, because the larger a crab gets, the less frequently it sheds. At some point, it will not shed again.

Never noticed a difference.
