Spice 101

Formerly known as Classic Crab, Elliott Bay Seasoning is adept at enhancing a plethora of dishes beyond the traditional crab boil. It boasts a vibrant mix of bay leaf and cardamom, complemented by the warmth of celery seed and a subtle hint of clove. This blend features surprising notes of Indian cayenne and Indonesian cinnamon that add a unique twist to its flavor profile.

Elliott Bay Seasoning is based on the flavors of traditional East Coast crab boils, a summer staple. The tradition of seafood boils dates back to early settlers along the Gulf Coast, where fresh seafood was abundant. Combining local spices with seafood in large communal meals became a way to bring people together, and the tradition still thrives today.

This blend is great sprinkled over grilled corn at a summer barbecue or used to zest up a potato salad. Its versatility is truly appreciated in our kitchens, where it has become a year-round staple, not just reserved for seafood.

Seafood boils are simple yet flavorful, cooked all in one pot. The ingredients—usually a mix of shrimp, crab, crawfish, corn, potatoes, and sausage—are boiled together with spices and seasonings, making it an efficient way to cook for a crowd.
