Old Bay Seasoning(Copycat)

This is great! Never heard of Old Bay Seasoning before I tried a fish recipe that called for it. I'm still discovering other ways to use this versatile seasoning. I did substitute 1T celery seed powder 1T sea salt for the 2T celery salt, and chili powder for the red pepper flakes. An economical source for the bay leaf powder, celery seed powder, and smoked paprika is spicebarn.com

I don't think you get this where I come from if you do I have never seen it so I can't compare it with the real thing, but I do know that the smell in my kitchen when I ground this up was amazing. I had it mixed in with tuna and mayonnaise as a sandwich mix and it made a big difference to the flavour of the fish it seemed to pep it up. I will use it the next time we have baked fish, or in my fish pie which I make a lot, that will be interesting to see if anyone notices. A very nice recipe. Made for herb of the month (Feb, Bay)

I have never bought OldBay Seasoning b/f but have seen many recipes that call for it. So, since I have most of these spices on my shelf, thought I would tag this recipe and give it a go. Used it in Easy Tuna Pot Pie. I could definitely tell w/the spice coming thru nicely. I'll be curious to see what else I can add this too as I'm sure it would go well w/any pork or beef. Thanks Sharon for a keeper in my spices cook-book! Tagged for Regional TagGame~

I've never tried the store-bought stuff, so don't have anything to compare it with, but it sure smelled wonderful!! And I used a small amount of it for a fish 'n chips recipe, and the fish was AWESOME!!! So it must've worked!! LOL! Thanks so much!!! Made for the ZWT4 :)

I have never tasted Old Bay Seasoning. But I used it in Tuna Salad, Deli Style and it was good. It's a lot of spices we already have. Thanks Sharon :) Made for PAC Spring 2008

Excellent! I cannot compare it to Old Bay but it is good. I used 2 tsp celery powder and 1 tsp each of sea salt and potassium salt substitute for a low sodium version. I don't care for seasoning salt but I used this instead and loved the flavour!! I plan on making some for Xmas gifts.

I made this to cook some recipes for ZWT III in Australia where Old Bay Seasoning isn't available so can't comment on how close it is to the original, but sure was a great combination! A lot of the herbs and spices I had available were whole so I ground in a mortise and pestle.

I made this for *Zaar World Tour III* - I can't seem to find Old Bay Seasoning in my area (I live in Australia) so I made this copycat. The aroma is very strong and I made it in no time. Thank you Sharon123
