My crab dip has a really strong fishy taste and I’m not sure what I did wrong. Is there a way to avoid this? I'd love some advice on how to get that perfect, delicious flavor without the fishy aftertaste. Thanks! 
Why does my crab dip taste kind of fishy?

To avoid a strong fishy taste in your crab dip, use fresh crab meat, rinse canned crab thoroughly, balance ingredients like cream cheese and lemon juice, add herbs or Worcestershire sauce for flavor, and chill before serving to meld flavors. Enjoy creating a delicious dip!

Hi there! hmmm 
your crab dip might taste fishy because the crab meat used could be slightly old or not fresh. Crab, like other seafood, can develop a fishy taste if it's not fresh or has been stored improperly. Better check the crab meat next time if it's still fresh or could be slightly old.
