Up and down the East Coast, you will find an array of crab dips, both hot and cold. This deviled crab dip serves up my family’s classic recipe that you will find at any get-together. Sweet lump crabmeat gently folded into a tangy base with bright lemon juice, seafood seasoning and mace (which is like if cinnamon and black pepper had a love child, trust me on this, cousins) make this dip pop! You’ll see why it’s our family’s favorite.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer, whip the cream cheese and mayonnaise together until there are no lumps and the mixture is smooth. Add the mustard, salt, wine, seafood seasoning, pepper, mace and lemon juice and mix together. Add the crabmeat, folding it carefully into the mixture, trying not to break up the crab.
  2. Sprinkle with additional seafood seasoning to taste, then serve with assorted crackers and garnish with chopped scallions, if using.
