The Spice Lab Best of the Bay Seasoning

Seafood seasoning should bring out the character of shrimp, crab and fish without burying them under salt. The Spice Lab Best of the Bay Seasoning delivers a brighter, more balanced coastal flavor with reduced salt, aromatic spices and smoked paprika for a gentle smoky finish.

Celery, mustard, bay leaves, cayenne, ginger, allspice and cloves build savory depth and subtle warmth, while sweet paprika adds color and smoked paprika rounds out the blend. Use it for seafood boils, steamed shrimp, crab cakes, fish, fries, roasted vegetables, chicken and more. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
