    I think that the recipe is awesome, but, I think that you should make it so that when we go to print it, it prints JUST the recipe, and not 10 dollars worth of ink on pictures.

    I honestly do not understand the negative reviews. This dip is OUTSTANDING. Yes, it's expensive to make (if you do it the right way with Jumbo Lump Crab Meat but 100% worth it. I've made it for guests several times and they ALWAYS ask for the recipe. Make extra crackers... people can't get enough of them!! Thanks Tyler... once again you make me look like a chef!

    After reading the reviews for this recipe I was prepared to have to ramp up the flavor a bit. 12 oz. to all that cream cheese sounded kind of weak to begin with. Thankfully I had 2 cans of lump waiting for something to do for a long time so the cost was dulled somewhat. Plus I reduced a bottle of clam juice to a third to add more of a seafood flavor. Added a little sour cream so it wasn't so cheesey.

    Instead of the saltines(???? I sliced a batard thinly, some EVOO, then crisped up in the oven.

    Overall, a winner after much expensive tweaking.

    Oh...my...God! This is fabulous! I wasn't sure about the tomatoes, but they make it pop. Make sure to make extra crackers, they're good all by themselves!

    This was awesome; made this for company and it received rave reviews (and a request for the recipe. I added a little cayenne as suggested by previous reviewers, but it didn't need anything else. Refrigerating for an hour or so before serving helps meld the flavors.

    Saltines were nice, dip was a drab, flavorless waste of time. After 1st taste I added lemon and parsley, still nothing. Asked guests to critique, they got nothing as well. The cream cheese overwhelms the sweet taste of fresh Dungeness crab we've been eating all of our lives. Later (there was plenty left added Worcester, cayenne and shallots and got cream cheese with flavorings, just as one would expect. There went $18, for nothing. Notice others who rated this highly also needed to add things.

    What a nice dish! I added a little cayenne to the recipe and it added a nice punch. I made the recipe again and baked it @ 450 degrees for 15 minutes. In my opinion, it made the dish considerably better serving it 10 minutes after coming out of the oven.
    Enjoy!

    Everyone loved this appetizer. I didn't have saltines, so I used Stoned Wheat Thin crackers which worked out well. I served the tomatoes in an oven-proof dish which kept the tomatoes warm and added another dimension to the dip.

    Really good. I couldn't go the price of lump crab so used a 50/50 mix of claw meat and imitation "krab" and although nothing replaces the taste of lump meat, this worked well. I also added a few capers and chopped artichoke hearts because I had them open in the fridge.

    I really liked this recipe, but it needs a little kick of some kind - something spicy I think. Has anyone tried something like that?
