Crab dip, sometimes referred to as Maryland crab dip,[1][2] is a thick, creamy dip that is typically prepared from cream cheese[3] and lump crab meat.[4] Other primary ingredients such as mayonnaise may be used. Various types of crab preparations, species and superfamilies are used, as are a variety of added ingredients. It is typically served hot, although cold versions also exist.[5][6] Hot versions are typically baked or broiled. It is sometimes served as an appetizer.[7][8] Accompaniments may include crackers and various breads. Some U.S. restaurants offer crab dip, commercially produced varieties exist, and some stadiums offer it as a part of their concessions.
