Crab dishes have been a part of Chesapeake Bay cuisine for centuries, dating back to the indigenous peoples and early European settlers who relied on the abundant crab populations for sustenance. Dips, in general, gained popularity as party appetizers in the mid-20th century, influenced by changing social gatherings and convenience food trends. Combining these elements resulted in the now-classic Chesapeake Crab Dip.

Rich, creamy, and savory, with a distinct crab flavor.
The primary flavor profile revolves around the sweet and delicate taste of Chesapeake Bay blue crab meat, balanced by a creamy base typically consisting of cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Savory notes are introduced through Old Bay seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and often, a touch of garlic and/or onion. A sprinkle of cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese on top adds a melted, bubbly layer of sharpness and richness. The toasted baguettes and tortilla chips provide a textural contrast and vehicle for scooping up the dip, while the carrots and celery (GF option) offer a fresh, crisp alternative.
