In that pic, all of them will be empty.... they to damn clean. When you picking crabs get the shitty bottom ones, the dirty ones, the ones with a little algae on them..... those will be the fullest crabs.

Never understood why crabs aren't sold by the pound like almost every other type of seafood is.


Regarding live crabs, in Louisiana seems they're all sold by the dozen. However, when we moved to SW Houston area, I realized it's different here.

When we want to boil crabs, I take a 45 minute drive to the main live/fresh seafood drag in Seabrook. All those markets sell everything, including live crabs, by the pound. In fact, the consumer is able to pick their crabs, so I like to get their early when they open up and dump all the crabs in the trough. That way, I can take time picking up each one myself, and the lightest ones I put back.
