McCormick Old Bay Seasoning, Blend of Zesty Savoury Herbs & Spices, Perfect for Meat, Poultry & Seafood, 280g Jar

I remember my mum using this when I was a child, then it suddenly disappeared it's only in the last few years that I've seen it again. I'm a YouTube Cooking Channel fan this seasoning is a big hit, especially in America. I wanted to try it again because I couldn't remember the taste, it's not cheap but I found it in Lidl's and Tesco 75g £3.00. It's meant to have a Perfect 👌 marriage with seafood 🐙 🦑 🦀🦐🦞🐟 and Chicken 🐔 🍗 I sprinkled it but generously on chicken wings and roasted them, they came out deliciously juicy with a hint of warmth maybe from the paprika or the mustard definitely a winning Recipe. I like that it has no Artificial flavourings, colours, MSG, suitable for vegans no preservatives, has your usual herbs bay leaves, thyme, basil, rosemary. Spices, celery seeds, black pepper, cayenne pepper, cloves, coriander and allspice which is Jamaica pimento pepper. I like this Seasoning, I decided to buy the larger size because it's not always available in my supermarket, expiry date April 2025. It's very versatile nice on vegetables, especially potatoes 🥔 🍠 I've watched recipes where it's sprinkled on popcorn 🍿 and even old bay ice cream 🍦 It's recommended because it can be used in so many different recipes, so you'll always get your money's worth. My friend likes to cook snapper fish on the barbecue using old bay as the main seasonings.

I have heard this seasoning is very good and popular so I have decided to try it. It claims to be very versatile and can be added to just about anything, including desserts. Update. Tried a taste and was not expecting it to be spicy, but it definitely has a little afterbite. Maybe, when mixed with a recipe it is less noticeable but as for adding it to ice cream or other desserts ? No thanks.

Bought this several times before, it is so versatile, it enhances the flavour of the dish/recipe.

Great flavours and nice to use in my cooking. It adds lovely spices to the food when cooking.

Very nice seasoning for seafood

A pound extra compared to supermarket and much much more for the money.

Have tried this brand before and came across this large size online, makes a nice spicy blend to add to all kinds of dishes

I decided to buy this after watching a YouTuber who was reviewing and airfryer and its didnt disappoint! I bought 6 pieces of chicken [skin on] and 6 chicken drumsticks. I had a bowl of plain flour, another bowl with 2 eggs, and a 3rd bowl with plain flour and 3 table spoons of this in the 3rd bowl mixed in with the 3rd bowl of flour. Dipped the chicken in 1st bowl of just plain flour, then the eggs and finally the 3rd bowl of plain flour mixed with this spice. Put the chicken in the air fryer, 195c for 30 minutes [turned over at 15 minutes] and after the 30 minutes, used a temp check rod, chicken in the middle needs to be over 80c and its cooked. Took it out and put on plate, then dug in, gotta say this spice was delicious!!! Really really nice, and will do same recipe again next weekend! Also the bottle is quite big, I was expecting a small spice bottle but its actually quite big and will make plenty of meals! Havent tried on fish yet, but will probably use it all on mychicken recipe!! Will buy again once use [should last ages though] 5* !!!
