This Crab dip is one of the first recipes I discovered when we moved to Virginia in 1993. Blue crab is the absolute best there when it comes right out of the Chesapeake. While it’s best right out of the shell covered with Old Bay, its absolutely delicious in this dip. Toast up some fresh baguettes and serve with this dip and enjoy.
