seafood seasoning

Oceanic flavor blend

Seafood seasoning is a spice blend formulated to complement fish, shrimp, crab, and other seafood.

Most versions combine celery salt, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne with smaller amounts of dry mustard, ginger, and bay leaf.

The mixture works as a rub, a poaching addition, or a table condiment: Sprinkle some seafood seasoning on the shrimp before grilling.

Old Bay is the dominant American brand, to the point where "Old Bay" and "seafood seasoning" are nearly synonymous in many regions.
