Enjoyed some near Beaufort once.

Here is what I found from Coastal Living.

She-crab Soup
Considered by many to be Charleston’s quintessential dish, the soup is so named because eggs from the female crab give it a unique taste. This creamy delicacy is almost always flavored with a generous helping of sherry.
