re: Are female crabs less desirable?

I usually go to Nam Dae Mun on Shackleford and Steve Reynolds. I also like the Assi on Pleasant Hill just off of 85. No one particular place is going to consistently have better crabs than the other, but those two seem to have overall better seafood departments as to quality, freshness, cleanliness, and service.

Super H-Mart is okay, but i don't always see crabs there ... they seem to focus on the exotic stuff for particular Asian dishes.

Places i stay away from when it comes to seafood: Great Wall on Pleasant Hill, and Hong Kong Market on Jimmy Carter (i go to Hong Kong for other things, but NOT seafood).

Buford and DeKalb are both good as well, they're just a little out of my way and tend to be more expensive.
