What is Old Bay Seasoning?

Old Bay is a seafood seasoning blend manufactured by McCormick. It contains celery salt (salt, celery seed), spices (red pepper and black pepper), and paprika. The exact/complete recipe is a “secret” although it also contains laurel leaves (bay leaves), nutmeg, and cinnamon. The blend originated in Baltimore, Maryland. It gets its name from the Old Bay Line which was a passenger ship in the early 1900s. The Old Bay Line travelled the Chesapeake Bay between Baltimore and Norfolk, Virginia. Old Bay seasoning was originally called “Delicious Brand Shrimp and Crab Seasoning.”

Many chefs and home cooks even make their own homemade Old Bay Seasoning blends. And don’t think you have to limit its use to just seafood. Folks love it on poultry, potatoes, beef, popcorn, and even soups & stews.

Is Old Bay Spicy?

To me, Old Bay is more smoky and savory than it is spicy. What I will say is that it does contain a good bit of salt. So in recipes, such as this one, where I use Old Bay, I do not add additional salt.

Is Old Bay Seasoning Gluten Free?

If you adhere to a gluten-free lifestyle, rest assured that Old Bay Seasoning is gluten-free.

How to Make Old Bay Deviled Eggs with Crab

Start by boiling your eggs, using your preferred method. I have placed my recommendation in the recipe card.
Once the eggs are cooked and peeled, slice the eggs lengthwise, and add the yolks to a mixing bowl.
Use a spoon to mix the egg yolks, crab meat, mustard, vinegar, mayonnaise, celery, and Old Bay. Depending on how creamy you want the mixture to be, you may opt to add more mayonnaise as desired.
Taste for seasoning. Once your mixture is to your liking, taste it before filling the eggs. If you need a little more seasoning, I would add more Old Bay, just a pinch at a time! You can always add more, but it’s difficult to fix once over-salted.
Fill the eggs using either a spoon, or a piping tool.
