OLD BAY Seasoning, 6 oz

Good value. Lasts ages. Nice seasoning for anything, not just seafood.

The reason why I bought this is because I came across a recipe for “mock crab cakes” that uses zucchini. Since this is the time of the year when everyone has zucchini coming out of their ears, I thought I’d give the recipe a try. (It is just your basic crab cake recipe, except you substitute zucchini for the crab meat. And, of course, for authentic crab cake seasoning, you’d only use Old Bay.) On the East coast, all the supermarkets sell this, but then you go 2000 miles inland, and nobody seems to know what it is!! Sheesh. I went to all the local supermarkets in these parts, and NOBODY carried this. There was a store-brand version of it in one supermarket but the ingredients didn’t look very good. I didn’t want some inferior knock-off; I wanted the authentic spice mix that’s been around for over 70 years. As usual, Amazon shall provide…and it’s a good thing that this metal can is a bit bigger than I thought it would be. This stuff is addictive, and I keep on sprinkling it on different foods to experiment. Even though celery seed is the first ingredient, it is not overwhelming in the same way that celery salt is. The paprika in this spice mix comes out front and center, which is a good thing since it’s a lot easier on the digestive system than cayenne. I can see how if you made up a batch of the mock crab cakes with robust Old Bay seasoning and then grilled them to perfection on a barbecue, people might be fighting over them….they’d never even miss the crabmeat. And that would be a great way to get rid of 10 pounds or more of zucchini at a time. I am about to try this on popcorn and see if I like it better than the Italian seasoning mix that I usually use. Even though this seasoning mix was designed for seafood, it lends itself well to meat, veggies, eggs…the possibilities are endless…

If you live in Maryland or ever lived in Maryland you know about Old Bay and even if you'd move to the moon you'd NEED to have some in your moon base kitchen. It's a really delicious and versatile spice blend. I have to have it to use in crabcakes. I also use it in tuna cakes. You need it for steamed crabs and steamed shrimp. Maryland Red Crab Soup wouldn't be the same without it. It's good on French fries and popcorn too. Sprinkle some in a Bloody Mary or in your tomato juice to spice it up. Elevate your deviled eggs by topping each egg half with a steamed shrimp and sprinkle with Old Bay instead of paprika. I could go on and on touting the virtues of Old Bay and offering suggestions on how to use it but I'll stop now and just say buy some Old Bay NOW especially if you've never tried it. You'll find all sorts of ways to use it and be glad that you have.

Great taste, use it on what ever you want

Very good for seafood and salad 🥗

I grew up in Maryland, so of course I'm biased, but I love Old Bay seasoning. I had been pining for the Eastern Shore and Ocean City, specifically, which in turn got me into an Old Bay state of mind. I ordered some from Amazon and now I'm finding that I'm putting Old Bay into EVERYTHING from sauces to soups to sprinkling it on potatoes and stir fries and basically everything you can imagine: Old Bay makes it better. What I really appreciate, too, is that it doesn't contain any junk, like anti-caking ingredients or anything, per the fine print on the ingredients label, which I'm the type of consumer who not only reads but scrutinizes that. I does have salt but, if you are concerned about consuming a lot of salt, simply compensate by not adding as much additional salt as you otherwise would (I use sea salt myself, liberally, and am not concerned on that front, but if you are one to watch your sodium, think of the Old Bay as part of the total amount of sodium you are adding, and just don't add much or any other salt). Old Bay is very special, really unique--there's no other spice combo exactly like it. It takes me right back to some of the best memories of my childhood, on Maryland's Eastern Shore, with the fragrance of steamed blue crabs and Old Bay seasoning infusing the sea air. Wonderful.

Great seasoning for seafood. Very tasty and high quality. Kind of spicy but very flavorful.

We use Old Bay in lots of dishes and without it, the recipes do not taste right. There are lots of things you can leave out of some recipes and it still tastes good, but for some reason when Old Bay is missing, it is not good. Old Bay is one of those unique seasonings that makes a dish taste right. Fish, shrimp, scallops, chicken, Cajun dishes and much much more. If you use Old Bay you know what I mean. There is only one Old Bay, and that is the original. Nothing can replace it. If you have never used Old Bay, try it out, you will use it always. I highly recommend Old Bay seasoning, and I find this 6 oz. container to be a terrific value for the price. Old Bay gets 5 big fat tasty stars from me.

Old Bay ist eine vielseitige und aromatische Gewürzmischung, die besonders gut zu Fisch, Meeresfrüchten und sogar Pommes passt. Der Geschmack ist kräftig, würzig und bringt sofort ein Stück USA-Feeling in die Küche. Ein echter Klassiker, den man immer im Gewürzregal haben sollte.

Dit zijn de kruiden voor jou seafood boil.

J'ai utilisé le American Old Bay Seasoning (170g Tub) pour préparer un seafood boil, et c'était une réussite totale ! Ce mélange d'épices est absolument parfait pour donner à vos fruits de mer cette saveur authentique et délicieuse. La quantité est généreuse et le goût est exactement ce que je recherchais pour recréer une expérience culinaire digne des meilleurs restaurants de fruits de mer. En plus, c'est super simple à utiliser : il suffit d'en saupoudrer généreusement pour transformer n'importe quel plat de fruits de mer en un festin savoureux. En résumé, ce seasoning est indispensable pour tous les amateurs de fruits de mer. Je le recommande vivement pour des plats épicés et savoureux !

This is great on just about anything. Tastes delicious…. Just don’t use a lot because it could start to get hot to the taste if too much is used.

I like the product very much the flavour was intense .I have used it on steaks ,chicken and fish . My next test will be on seafood .I think it will be just fine
