  • Shred the crab meat finely: This will help it to distribute evenly throughout the cream cheese mixture.
  • Use a good quality cream cheese: Full-fat cream cheese will give the log a richer flavor and creamier texture.
  • Season the cream cheese mixture well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce to taste.
  • Chill the log before serving: This will help it to firm up and make it easier to slice.
  • Garnish the log with fresh herbs or vegetables: This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:
