Old Bay seasoning
Maryland crab blend
Old Bay seasoning is a spice blend of celery salt, paprika, black pepper, and other seasonings, associated with Chesapeake Bay cuisine.
It's the classic seasoning for steamed crabs and shrimp boils, but appears on everything from fries to Bloody Marys: Old Bay on popcorn is surprisingly good.
The brand name has become generic for this style of seafood seasoning.
