For an even richer flavor, consider using a high-quality seafood stock in place of some of the half-and-half. Adjust the amount of seafood seasoning to your personal preference. A pinch of cayenne pepper can add a subtle kick. Be gentle when stirring in the crabmeat to maintain its delicate texture. Serve with crusty bread or oyster crackers for dipping. The quality of crabmeat makes a huge difference. Spend a little more for the best lump crabmeat you can find.
