Summary

Formerly known as Classic Crab, Elliott Bay Seasoning is adept at enhancing a plethora of dishes beyond the traditional crab boil.

History

Elliott Bay Seasoning is based on the flavors of traditional East Coast crab boils, a summer staple.

Combining local spices with seafood in large communal meals became a way to bring people together, and the tradition still thrives today.
