I thought this recipe as is was very bland and too high fat without the zing. I doubled the crab and I used the fresher kind you find in the refridgerated section of the fish department (the kind with an expiration date). I used 3/4 the amount of cream cheese (and used low fat). I added two tablespoons of sour cream, a little Old Bay seasoning, one clove of fresh garlic, and kosher salt. I also used more green onion that it calls for. Next time I'll use even less cream cheese, maybe 4 oz. It's much more expensive to make it this way but otherwise, to me, the calories aren't worth it.

This recipe is quick and easy. My husband and I love the flavor. But we would like it a little more meaty so I'm going to add a extra can of crab next time.

Excellent! I served it to 15 adults and 6 children with "wheat thin" crackers and I should have made a double batch.

I made this when we had friends over for a casual evening of TV and drinks... what a hit! I agree - another cheese might be tasty, and maybe less onion. I am making again for girl's night this week!

This dip went over big! I used imitation crab and it was fine (just took some work to flake it). Next time I might add some cheese. Served with water crackers and pita chips.

Easy to make and delicious! A huge hit! I added a couple of things that were delicious as well. I added grated cheddar cheese (1 cup) and folded into the mix as well as 2 tsp of hot sauce. That added a bit of zip to it without changing the overall taste. Turned out really well.

This was really good and rich. I did add a little mozzarella cheese about 1/4 cup to it though. And I sprinkled a little grated parmesan cheese on top. Really good recipe though I suspect the quality of crab meat you use makes all the difference. I used Kroger's "private selections" lump crab meat and was pleased with the quality for about 5 bucks for a 6 oz. can. Served alongside Tostitos restaurant style tortilla chips.

I used half an 8 oz container of spreadable light cream cheese, light mayo, no onion, 1 can of crab, and a lot of lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. I just microwaved the mixture for 4 minutes, stirring halfway. It came out perfect with warm (microwaved) whole wheat pita bread. So easy, and so delicious! Thank you!

I baked this in a hollowed out round bread loaf, reserving the the removed bread chunks for dipping, and baked it with the heated filling 'till the bread was lightly toasted on top. Yummy! Thanks

This was okay, but nothiong special. I thought the worchestershire flavor was overpowering and the crab was lost. Also, it could have used a little kick.

Very tasty - although I probably would have doubled the recipe. Didn't make tons... I used quite a bit more lemon than the recipe called for - felt it added some needed zing. Quite good though - and very easy.

After a while we stopped putting it on crackers and just scooped it right into our mouths on spoons! It was so good we were embarassed at how much we ate. I highly highly highly recommend this recipe. You can add a bit of chopped celery to it if you like.
