Rich and Creamy Crab Dip

Matthew Raiford thinks this creamy crab dip is a tribute to the people who worked at the now-closed Lewis Crab Factory in Brunswick, Georgia. His father was a earner, which meant he worked all night cooking crabs. After it had cooled, the women usually took care of picking the crab meat from the shells. We love the mild flavor that goat cheese adds to our version. Serve with slices of warm beer bread or crispy vegetables.
