Ingredients:
14 ounces crab meat
1/2 cup mayonnaise
12 stalks celery (amount per preference), finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning

Separate crab into individual pieces (only if compressed in package – if not, disregard) and chop into 1/2 inch pieces; add to a medium bowl. Add remaining ingredients and gently stir until well combined. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate to store. If you don’t have any Old Bay, use a combination of celery salt and paprika.
