OLD BAY Seasoning

OLD BAY Seasoning • this painting is sold

Old Bay Seasoning is a blend of herbs and spices that is currently marketed in the United States by McCormick & Company, and produced in Maryland. It is named for the Chesapeake Bay area where it was developed by German immigrant Gustav Brunn in the 1940s. The seasoning mix includes celery salt, bay leaf, mustard seed, both black and red pepper, cinnamon and ginger. It is traditionally used in Mid-Atlantic States and the northern Gulf Coast to season crab and shrimp. It is popular in Baltimore and the Chesapeake Bay region.

In addition to flavoring seafood, the seasoning is often used as a topping on popcorn, salads, eggs, french fries and potato chips. Potato chip manufacturer Herr's produces a variety of chips spiced with the seasoning, and Utz distributes a "crab chip" variety with an Old Bay analogue spice. Early in its history, the Subway sandwich shop used to use Old Bay when mixing their tuna sub.

McCormick has a number of other products under the Old Bay banner, including seasoning packets for crab cakes, salmon patties and tuna, tartar sauce, cocktail sauce and seafood batter mix. They also make other seasoning blends that mix Old Bay seasoning with garlic, lemon, herbs and blackened seasonings.
