I remember finding Food Wishes years ago when I first entered culinary school and being put off by his voices cadence, but Im a diehard food wisher now
"You're in charge of the administration of your crustacean" has me still laughing! I love your sense of humor - it goes hand in hand with your great recipes!
We arrived at almost the same recipe - can attest to its deliciousness. One ingredient that I include that I consider to be critical is finely diced red bell pepper. The bell pepper brings a vegetal freshness that cuts the intensity of the rest of the ingredients. Cheers yall!
The smaller portions being put out as needed is brilliant - our much loved and missed former neighbor had a production line of these types of hot and cold dips ready to go for any occasions which allowed her to snap up items when they were on sale, do the prep, freeze them and...VOILA!
I made your Cowboy Dip for our Christmas party.. Everybody including the cowboys loved it!!! Thank you for that recipe. I am making the crab dip for our New Year's Eve Karaoke Party..... :)
Marylander here. We forgive your use of canned crab. Tbqh the fresh stuff is both scarce and $$$ here too and probably has been that way for 10+ years. Fellow MDers back me up
Just a suggestion from someone from MD who uses a lot of crab, Old Bay, and Worcestershire sauce...forego the added salt. All of the prior 3 will have enough for the dip. Love your channel and your enthusiasm in your commentary. Cheers!!
I'm surprised that Chef John doesn't have a recipe for Cayenne pepper soup! It could be as simple as 2 cups of your choice of broth and 1/2 cup of Cayenne pepper! 😂
I make a similar dip with imitation crab and its delicious. Old Bay really is a key ingredient. I don’t put ketchup or lemon zest in mine but I do put a dash of horseradish. Chef's kiss.
Chef John, this hot crab dip looks delicious! Every year during the holidays I make a clambake because it's always requested and expected :) I'm making one for a holiday party this weekend, but now, in addition to that, I'm going to bring along this crab dip. Like all of your recipes, I know people will love it. Thank you for sharing.
This is a nice simple versatile crab dip. I tweek it to my taste, added some ingredients and eliminated other but the overall recipe is great. Thank you for sharing.
I make a crab dip which I made up, and wow! It’s just like yours! Well maybe a few little differences (no ketchup….hmmm, but maybe sriracha next time? A pinch of white pepper) I use Jack, Tillamook white cheddar, maybe a bit of gruyere. I think I use less cream cheese and more cheese. I buy the MD lump crab in those see-thru refrigerated containers that cost $30 and I don’t make as large an amount, so smaller dish….sooo good!!! One time I made it as our main course served in pretty French white gratin dishes….delish, but so caloric!
I like getting a baguette and making some crispy crostini! I dry it out a little first in a low oven (or use day-old) then toast under the broiler. They are sturdy enough to dip and they’re crunchy.
Amazing I have all these ingredients on hand already! I was so excited when Chef John announced this in the live chat because less than a month earlier I suggested this dish, my first food wish and it only took. a month to see it to fruition! Go me! And, Chef John! Thank you !
OMG, I cannot wait to make this and eat it!! It looks sooooo yummy, minus the cayenne. You make the best foods! I bet your wife is super happy, as she is a very lucky woman to have a husband who makes the best food!! Yummm 😋 Oops, almost forgot, Thank you for sharing this and all of your other food recipes!!
Boy, Chef John I’ve noticed you really like your cayenne pepper 🌶️ 😅 I enjoy a little heat, but, not too much where I can’t enjoy the meal. Anyway, I think pita chips would be good for dipping as they are a firm and neutral tasting chip. Enjoy 😊!
I was planning to make somone elses hot crab dip recipe for my family at Chritsmas and hope for the best. No I KNOW it gonna be good thanks CJ! Perfect timing!
A really great tip I got here in our local asia market in Pinneberg, Germany: ask for frozen crab meat. Not as watery as the canned stuff (by far!) plus there's a fair chance that it is even cheaper! Our store here is amazing! They've even ordered ingredients for me, several times.
Made this today. Chef John, it's not bad, but as a Marylander, next time I'd leave out the catsup. And Bumble Bee canned lump crab works just fine. (Md lump is $30 a pound)
My husband absolutely flipped over this. I used the refrigerator crab, but not lump (cha-ching). So much crab flavor. This could easily be 16 servings. But we didn't eat it that way 😉
Never be afraid to use Alaskan King Crab in this or even Maine Lobster! Twelve to twenty ounces of either will do the trick! That way you can control the size of the chunks. Ask your fish monger to hook you up! That's what they do! 😉😋😎
Btw, double dipping is fine if you're alone.
So is eating the dip with a spoon!
Did you eat the whole thing? 🔥🔥🔥🥵🔥🔥🔥
Will this be good without all the fire? 🔥
Is that a metaphor?
so double dipping is always fine for me.
I'm pretty sure Food Wishes was the first channel I subscribed to years ago. You have made it a great ride Chef John
I remember finding Food Wishes years ago when I first entered culinary school and being put off by his voices cadence, but Im a diehard food wisher now
Ditto! I think his chocolate sea salt crostini vid was the first one I ever watched. I've taken *so* much from this channel over the years.
"You're in charge of the administration of your crustacean" has me still laughing!
I love your sense of humor - it goes hand in hand with your great recipes!
😂SpongeBob's got nothin' on Him
Agree!
Is there anything better than rewatching the Food Wishes video while you're eating your newest favorite recipe? Nope! Another winner :)
I'm from Maryland and I approve of this dip.
That all I needed to here (thank you 💋)
I'm from Maryland too,and it is so hard to find any better than Maryland seafood
We arrived at almost the same recipe - can attest to its deliciousness. One ingredient that I include that I consider to be critical is finely diced red bell pepper. The bell pepper brings a vegetal freshness that cuts the intensity of the rest of the ingredients. Cheers yall!
I like that…it would be eye appealing too!
Agree; red pepper goes so great with crab 🦀
The smaller portions being put out as needed is brilliant - our much loved and missed former neighbor had a production line of these types of hot and cold dips ready to go for any occasions which allowed her to snap up items when they were on sale, do the prep, freeze them and...VOILA!
A friend is going crabbing for some Dungeness this weekend. I think I know what I’m going to make. Thanks Chef John!
Dungeness is the best!
I did indeed say "That's not lump crab meat." haha. Ya got me.
This looks AWESOME. I think that might make for an excellent rangoon filling!
I made your Cowboy Dip for our Christmas party.. Everybody including the cowboys loved it!!! Thank you for that recipe. I am making the crab dip for our New Year's Eve Karaoke Party..... :)
Have a wonderful holiday season to you and your family John

Fellow MDers back me up
I'm in the DMV, and you are 100% correct!!!
$20.00 for 80z lump crab in a jar in TX
“Hot Crab Drip” is a great band name. Or perhaps an album.
Just a suggestion from someone from MD who uses a lot of crab, Old Bay, and Worcestershire sauce...forego the added salt. All of the prior 3 will have enough for the dip. Love your channel and your enthusiasm in your commentary. Cheers!!
this guy gets it ☝️. From MD too and I agree with ya
Annapolitan here and agree 100%
The Old Bay is a must but the most expensive lump crab meat is not required for crab dip save the best for your crab cakes.
Brother you are a national treasure!!!
I enjoy every one of your presentations. Thank you and merry Christmas
I make this every New Year's Eve. My family loves it!
You make crab dip with Ketchup?
@@toddb3394 I don't use ketchup. I add a little cocktail sauce instead.
Aloha. I’m assuming an address is out of the question?
@@adamyoung480 lol
@@wynnkidsnannylorivance4111 My mom made a delish cold crabmeat dip and used cocktail sauce instead of ketchup (but CJ's looks even better).
I'm surprised that Chef John doesn't have a recipe for Cayenne pepper soup! It could be as simple as 2 cups of your choice of broth and 1/2 cup of Cayenne pepper! 😂
I don't know where you're from John, but with that Young Bay joke, you are now officially a Baltimore Dad.
I don't usually have crab dip hot but it looks delicious!!
This looks delicious, Chef John!
Great. Another Chef John dip that I know is going to be at least a once a year entire dinner to my face. Along with that hot Reuben dip. You rule!
Holy CRAB🦀!
This looks really good. And we have a holiday that demands finger foods coming up! Thanks, Chef!
Dips are such wonderful creations.💜
Young Bay just got carded and it's under seasoned 😂

"....it's not a Stuffing if you don't stuff it in the bird".... BWAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I'm using chip dip on nachos as I watch this video.😮 To eat/each their own ❤
I have made something similar using surimi and a little fish sauce. Budget me. Delicious though.
Thanks Chef John!
All our favourite recipes are from you, Chef John! It started with Dutch Baby 12 years ago.
This looks really good. I can't wait to make it.
Turned out sooo good. Made a quarter recipe since it was just me and hubs. Will definitely be making this again!
Thanks for this, I used to buy some good crab dip but the cost is too much, now I can make my own.
I make a crab dip which I made up, and wow! It’s just like yours! Well maybe a few little differences (no ketchup….hmmm, but maybe sriracha next time?

Chef, this looks amazing. I'm gonna buy some crab tomorrow.
I made a 1/4-recipe of this using a can of crab meat (it still seemed like a lot) and it was excellent! Thank you Chef John!
Chef John, having lived in Maryland for graduate school, this is an awesome recipe 🦀
Thank you as always 🙏
I like getting a baguette and making some crispy crostini! I dry it out a little first in a low oven (or use day-old) then toast under the broiler. They are sturdy enough to dip and they’re crunchy.
Salivating like Pavlov's dog here. All I'm gonna be thinking about all day is crab dip.
I would use a smaller amount of Gochujang instead of Ketchup. For not only the color,, but A little sweet heat..
Love the recipes, but live for the rhyming couplets. Administration of your crustacean. Splendid!
Hi. Marylander here. I will use this recipe and buy whatever crab I can get, probably what you found. I’m landlocked rn 😂 I will add 2 tsps sherry 🥂
Pretty sure Chef John is king of the hot dips, but I'll take your word for it Chef.
Marylander here, and no judge-adge on your lump-age
Amazing I have all these ingredients on hand already! I was so excited when Chef John announced this in the live chat because less than a month earlier I suggested this dish, my first food wish and it only took. a month to see it to fruition! Go me! And, Chef John! Thank you !
ya! well we need more paprika here, it's been devastating
what are the measurements or it goes by the wye 😊
check the recipe link in the description @@teodorac4801
Made rhis tonight with canned crab and dipped it with homemade tortilla chips. Yummy, super delicious. Thanks!
In Baltimore we eat crabby fries… hot crab dip on French fries! Preferably waffle fries mmmmm
That looks absolutely delicious.
Can't wait for crab season to get here
Happy Holidays & Merry Vacation!
You're the Best chef John.
Don’t give me no lip. This is the best hot crab dip.
Have you any idea what the Old bay seasoning would be equivalent to in the UK?
OMG, I cannot wait to make this and eat it!! It looks sooooo yummy, minus the cayenne. You make the best foods! I bet your wife is super happy, as she is a very lucky woman to have a husband who makes the best food!! Yummm 😋
Oops, almost forgot, Thank you for sharing this and all of your other food recipes!!
I’m from Maryland and I’ve never had crab dip with ketchup. Maybe I’ll give it a try 🤷🏽♀️
i used to make something pretty similar to that and eat it with baked potatoes. Might have to make another batch for nostalgia
Boy, Chef John I’ve noticed you really like your cayenne pepper 🌶️ 😅 I enjoy a little heat, but, not too much where I can’t enjoy the meal. Anyway, I think pita chips would be good for dipping as they are a firm and neutral tasting chip. Enjoy 😊!
1:07 - Nailed it!
Marylander here…def not lump!! 😂😂 But that works too!! Looks great!
Shout out to Yung Bae in this video! Respect
I can’t get old bay seasoning in NZ, any alternative to that “key” ingredient?
I have a family recipe looking for something new and I just found it thank you
Administration of your crustacean 😂 those end comments are always my favorite
thank you chef!
I was planning to make somone elses hot crab dip recipe for my family at Chritsmas and hope for the best. No I KNOW it gonna be good thanks CJ! Perfect timing!
Looks delicious John, can't wait to give it a try!
Thank you for another tasty recipes!🎄
Allergic to tomatoes. Is there something I should try subbing for that or do you think omitting is fine? Looks delicious!
Another one that I need a slow cooker version for
What can I use instead of Old Bay?
There is nothing better than a good hot crab dip.
BYOY to that party!
ah the richesse, must be some pretty important guests to a party with that served!
"That's okay, they can't help themselves."
How true!
YOUNG Bay? This guy probably parties so hard.🎉❤
Merry Christmas
I love this channel 😊
Looks good!😁

I do both spread and dip

the "young bay" joke absolutely sent me, lol
Cooking this tonight. 🎉
Wow! This looks amazing! I just got the Xmas lobster out of the freezer for a meal in 2 days.
Orange cheddar makes every dish looks like a junk food. White cheddar is way to go, always. Bonus point if it is British cheddar
Omg need to make this asap
Okay I had a weird thought that includes hot cheeto's crunched up on top . . .
Can you make it ahead, refrigerate, and then heat the next day?
If you have any leftovers, I doubt you will but if you do, this is delicious on top of a hamburger❤ or a soft pretzel ❤
I actually made this. It's pretty good. I think next time, I'll substitute chill sauce for ketchup. Or maybe add a drop or three of liquid smoke.
Rich and delectable ‼️
I'm all for this one 😋
This guy should be a chef
Look out Christmas...It's about to get crabby!
Yummy..😊
Super Bowl dip of the day
Never be afraid to use Alaskan King Crab in this or even Maine Lobster! Twelve to twenty ounces of either will do the trick! That way you can control the size of the chunks. Ask your fish monger to hook you up! That's what they do! 😉😋😎
