OLD BAY reviews and discussion

I don’t understand why Thingtester (for McCormick & Co. with www.McCormick.com) forces me to write a review here, but I guess it is something I don’t know about. I recently found Nutmeg and Paprika in their organic gourmet line and love the freshness and authenticity of these spices!

I use McCormicks Lawrys Garlic Salt regularly when I’m cooking. I love how it makes the food taste. It’s great on pastas and even on popcorn it’s a staple I keep in my house regularly. Highly recommend!

I love Old Bay's McCormick branded seasonings. I have yet to come across a mccormick seasoning I did not like. They are excellent quality and a brand name I don't mind paying a little more for. Their mustard line (French's) is also decent.

I went to UMD for undergrad and as part of the welcome in acceptance, they sent you a box and mallet. Old bay is great not just for seafood but poultry and potatoes! Overall it is a pantry staple! I do wish they would bring bag the tin packaging instead of the plastic though :(

Old Bay is the best seasoning out there. It's great, not only on seafood, but also on chips and fries. It can be a little too salty is overused, but perfect to elevate any seafood dish.

Old Bay makes just about anything taste good. My favorite way to use it is on french fries. Automatically makes them taste so much better! I love the old retro packaging too.

Been using this seasoning for years. It’s a classic. It’s definitely a must have for a dish (crab stuffed mushrooms) my boyfriend and I make every year around the holidays, we won’t accept any substitute

As a born & raised Maryland girly, it was pretty fun to see Old Bay pop up here on Thingtesting! I grew up putting Old Bay on literally everything - seafood, of course, but then pretty much everythnig else too. We put it on all kinds of meat, potatoes of every variety (french fries are my favorite), in salad dressing...the list goes on & on. It's high salt for sure, but it's an incredibly savory spice blend that adds pizzaz to whatever you're cooking, especially if you're grilling. And if you're eating any sort of seafood at all, it's a must have!

Super flavorful and good on everything— there’s a cult following for a reason!

Pretty good seasoning, a bit salty for me.

Can’t go wrong seasoning. I throw it on anything

Versatile seasoning for all types of foods. Easy to use and better than buying each spice/herb individually.

I love Old Bay seasoning. I put it on tofu and pan fry it. Delicious!

Love Old Bay. Goes great on a variety of foods- obviously crabs. But I also put it on burgers, popcorn, and pork rinds. It's quite salty. Goes well on chips too.

As far as seafood seasoning goes, Old Bay is definitely the way to go. While it can be used for many other things, I probably wouldn't recommend it so much. The spices can be a bit strong, so a little goes a long way.

It has a distinct flavor that you can't really compare to any other brand. A little goes a long way though. Great for seafood, not really a fan of how it tastes on chicken. But if you're making a pot boil, definitely grab some Old Bay!
