Old Bay Seasoning

Old Bay Seasoning

I grew up 30 minutes from the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. My fondest culinary memory is going to all-you-can-eat blue crab feasts. Old Bay seasoning is the secret weapon for bold seafood. I’ve tried generic versions such as GFS’s Chesapeake Bay Seasoning, but it tastes like at least one of the spices is out of balance with the others. Amazon has always offered Old Bay significantly cheaper than our local supermarkets. This one-pound container will last you awhile.

Old Bay is an ideal seasoning for those who like seafood but don’t want a lot of spice. Its flavor profile scales very well whether you’re piling it on or just dusting your food with it.

While it’s mostly for seafood, it’s also great on burgers and chicken.
