Old Bay Seasoning is a mixture of herbs and spices traditionally used in Baltimore when steaming hard-shell crabs. Today, Old Bay is used on grilled fish, steamed shrimp, fried chicken, french fries, and potato salad, and for vegetable dips and anything else you want. This isn't the exact recipe but it's a good stand in and costs less by doing it your self.
