This has to be immortalized because so few people use sauce when eating hard shell crabs. They don't know what they are missing. I found this in an article I saved from the Wilmington News Journal dated Jan. 22, 2003. It reminds me of the sauce they used to serve at DiNardo's on Lincoln St.(in Wilmington, De.) that closed a number of years ago. As I recall, the vinegar made it great and cut down on the salt from the Old Bay.
1/2 Cup dark brown sugar
1/2 Cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 Cup ketchup
1 teaspoon of hot sauce
2 teaspoons of Old Bay seasoning
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup water
Combine in a pan and bring to a boil. Cool and serve in individual dipping dishes.
Hey, I have been looking for this for at least 6 years!! It has to be a Delaware thing, because no one has a dip like this. It took a good 30 minutes for me to find this recipe, so maybe you should change the name? Just saying. Thank you for posting. Maybe the name should be 'crab dip - sauce for dipping crabs'
