NOTE ! post review - I use Costco or Trader Joe's canned crabmeat because it is all crab with only a tiny amount of liquid. Oh how I miss Legal Seafoods in Boston ! My most favorite seafood restaurant. I was so happy to find a recipe for this fantastic dip.

Tips:

  • Choose the right crab meat. Fresh crab meat is best, but canned or frozen crab meat can also be used. If using canned crab meat, be sure to drain it well and flake it before using.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of cheeses, such as cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese, will give your crab dip a rich and flavorful taste.
  • Add some herbs and spices. Herbs and spices, such as Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder, will add depth of flavor to your crab dip.
  • Don't overcook the crab dip. Crab dip should be cooked until it is just heated through. Overcooking will make the crab tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the crab dip warm. Crab dip is best served warm, with crackers, bread, or vegetables for dipping.

Conclusion:

Crab dip is a delicious and versatile appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its creamy texture, rich flavor, and endless variations, crab dip is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give crab dip a try. You won't be disappointed!
