    would this dip taste better if you use fresh crab instead of canned? to get fresh crab i guess i wiuld need to buy a whole crab,

    1. Heidi says:

      Hi Scott ~ you can definitely substitute cooked crab instead of canned in this recipe. ENJOY!

  2. Carol S. says:

    This is very good, but if you double the recipe like I did, do NOT double the garlic salt.

      Good tip – thanks for sharing!

    Is the can of crab drained or do you use the liquid in the recipe as well?

    1. Heidi says:

      Hi Sara ~ the crab meat should first be drained. Hope that helps! 😉

    I made this last night and it was perfect. One of my new favorite Pinterest finds 🙂 I added some Old Bay seasoning ay the end to taste, and a couple shakes of black pepper!
