Old Bay Seasoning

[spaceboy761]

I have been trying for weeks to find this stuff:





Apparently, my theory that anything in the world in available somewhere in Manhattan (if you're willing to pay enough) has its limits. My dream right now involves creating Old Bay-laced popcorn to be the greatest beer snack of all-time. It's also money for Bloody Mary's. This stuff is so tasty that you can put it on any starch or non-red meat and have it taste awesome.

We have Old Bay in every store in SC. And on the Eastern Shore of VA, where I grew up, you can get it at most gas stations.

IMO it's best on steamed crabs and most fish, but, yes, I've done it with popcorn, potato chips, french fries, salads, corn on the cob, etc. We keep a tin in our cabinet at all times.

Dear Yankees,

In regards to Old Bay mixed seasoning, here in little ole' Savannah, Ga it's also available in every grocery store and again, yes again even at most gas stations and YES it's great on just about everything... But most importantly, it's one of the two mixed seasonings (along with Old Savannah Seafood Seasoning) you NEED to make the world most perfect meal, Low Country Boil. (at least the way it's supposed to be made, which is to say, the way I make it.)

With all apologies, it is southern policy not to ship either in numbers sufficient to make it commonly available up north. If you simply must have either, it is suggested that you come visit the south where you may purchase up to two tins (one of each) for your return home.

If travel to the south is impossible, you should be able to find many of the Paula Dean line of seasonings, they're not really the same, actually they pale in comparison, and will cost you about four times as much... We ship THOSE in great quantities, because, well, we don't actually use them here, but you Yankees just can't seem to get enough of Paula Dean. (which is fine, because if her head gets any bigger we're gonna forcibly box her up and ship her to ya'll...)

Sorry, but ya'll should have been nicer to us after the war...

Warmest regards,
The South.

...and I'll bet that seasoning would go great on the snack you're eating while watching Stanten Island Little League play in the World Series?...Saw them on ESPN this weekend and figured you'd(Greg) have some kind of tie there? Not trying to "swipe" the thread. Sorry.

I've made some progress in my Old Bay search and I think I've found a place that carries it in Chelsea. I'll be taking a slight detour from my evening commute tomorrow and I'll let you know!

Old Bay Rocks with crab! We have it in Cali in specialty stores (Trader Joe's)...If ya cant find it, Id be more than happy to ship ya a box.

Down here, steamed crabs with beer and Old Bay is about as good as it gets...

I keep Old Bay and use it on Pork roasts.Just cake it on and rap in Foil and pop in oven.
Also good on hambergers
IT IS ALWAYS IN MY KITCHEN

So I finally got to try the Old Bay last night on broccoli of all things! I was dying to try it and it didn't quite go with the balsamic chicken we were having for dinner. It was a bit saltier than I expected, but it was actually a pleasant surprise! We're having grilled chicken tonight and that should work much better.

The flavor is delicious and very hard to describe without tasting it. Right away, you get the celery seed, salt, paprika, and a little heat. It's a very unique flavor that I will proceed to put on everything for about a month.

We also have it in every store. We also have a restaraunt called "Old Bay Steamer" that primarily uses this stuff as their seasoning. It's great
