- 8 ounces blue crab meat, drained (lump preferred, see notes on crab)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (or 2 teaspoons coconut aminos)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

- In a third bowl, combine the old bay, parsley, and coconut flour, mixing thoroughly.
