  • Chop Seafood Finely: Finely chopping the seafood will help it distribute evenly throughout the dip and make it easier to eat.
  • Use a Variety of Seafood: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of seafood in your dip. This will add flavor and texture.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, and chives, can add a lot of flavor to your dip. Chop them finely before adding them.
  • Use a Good Quality Mayonnaise: The mayonnaise is the base of your dip, so it's important to use a good quality mayonnaise. Look for a mayonnaise made with real eggs and oil.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing the dip can make it too thin. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
