The crab in a box you got is a type of crab called 大闸蟹 or Shanghai hairy crab. You DO NOT buy it for the meat, like you said its full of the yellow innards/miso and that is what they are known for. They are a delicacy and can only be eaten within a 2-3 month period a year. They are known to be expensive crabs in Hong Kong/China. So for the box you got, its a very good deal.

i think 99 ranch is more of a west coast or california thing, we have over 10 of them just in southern california alone. Def as popular as H-mart for asian food. Its pretty much a nicer updated big asian supermarket that has all the asian things you need for groceries. Some places have boba shops, bakery, and even peking duck

Mike san, I am actually surprised that you didn’t recognize those small crabs when you bought them. Those Mitten Crabs, or more well known as Shanghai Crabs, are a delicacy between fall and winter. And you are correct in saying that those crabs are meant for eating its miso and roe rather than its meat. There are countless numbers of Chinese restaurants in Japan where they serve this during its season. I recommend you try it out properly, since you already considered as an influential food critic, especially when it comes to Asian food. Cheers.

Hairy Crabs are usually eaten for their Roe and not the meat. The roe is supposedly to be amazing and considered a delicacy. So the fact they were small and had not a lot of meat is pretty much the norm with hairy crabs. (Of course, like with nearly everything there are going to be exceptions to the rule)
