My husband's Aunt and Uncle owned the Sea Captain's restaurant in Murrell's Inlet. This was the recipe they made expect they used much less mayo. This only needs 1/2 the amount (or less) mayo than this calls for in the recipe. The crab is meant to be tasted! Read More

This was an interesting dip. I liked the flavor but the color looks very similar to pimiento cheese. Be sure to let your guests know that it is not! My crackers had a very slight sweet taste and I liked the combination. I'm giving 4 stars because the delicate crab flavor nearly got lost. Read More

This was a nice addition to our cheese and crackers snack board during the holidays. I used a much lighter hand with the mayo adding only 1/3 cup and a slightly heavier hand with the crab and horseradish. The horseradish gives it a nice zing! Read More

Added 2x the crab meat and it was still waaayyy too much mayo. I'd cut it down to maybe a 1/2 cup tops. Read More

I only added 1/2 cup of mayo otherwise it would have been mayonnaise soup. It was just okay. Read More

The recipe as shown is incorrect. It's NOT 1 1/4 cups mayo it's 1/4 cup mayo. Huge difference. It's no wonder it came out like soup for those who used 1 1/2 cups of mayo. I use miracle whip for just about everything that mayo calls for. Gives dishes a bit of zip. Next time I think I'll add some pimento! There's 2 pictures shown. One is chunky the other one is like soup... Read More
