Old Bay Seasoning

Old Bay Seasoning is a well-loved spice blend that originated in Baltimore, Maryland in 1939. Combining celery salt, paprika, black pepper, red pepper, mustard, and other spices, it delivers a bold, savory taste with a touch of heat. Traditionally used to season seafood, particularly crab and shrimp, it has since become a versatile ingredient for chicken, fries, popcorn, and soups. Named after the Old Bay Line, a historic Chesapeake Bay passenger ship service, this seasoning remains a staple in Mid-Atlantic and Southern U.S. cuisine, adding depth and warmth to a variety of dishes.
