Best seafood seasonings according to redditors

psh, the professional marylanders have always used plastic containers

I use this it’s sorta of expensive but you can buy the flakes in bulk that makes it cheaper. It doesn’t have kelp in it so I think you’re safe.

You only need a little more than half a serving a day, so it lasts a long time. This may not be for everyone, but I don’t think you can taste it when you only use half a serving, and I find this is an easy way to incorporate iodine.

As far as other nutrients goes, it does have a little bit of iron and a smidge of potassium.

It’s a seasoning that’s especially delicious on seafood: OLD BAY Seafood Seasoning, 24 oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000M1HQFY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_DTMgDbFX1F9B7

These were leftover from an actual crawfish boil (I'm in Louisiana).

But you can buy seafood seasoning and do it on a stove. The seasoning is called 'crab boil' and usually comes in a bag. I like this one this one

Just add halved potatoes, corn on the cob, and whatever other veggies you want to a pot of boiling water with the crab boil mixed in. Boil until tender.

I get iodine from seaweed seasoning like this. Quite good on salads and stuff.

For selenium, I eat a brazil nut a day, but mushrooms and chia seeds are good sources.

I eat kimchi and other fermented Korean foods and I just assume I get enough K2.

Im not sure the name, but it was by the fish at my supermarket. It had a sweet flavor and savory and was 1g carb per 1tsp. so cant go too crazy with it. WAIT I found it on amazon, but I didn't pay that much and it was in plastic, not glass. https://www.amazon.com/Braswells-Savory-Salmon-Seasoning/dp/B012TMJT0I

Thank you! Mostly I shop kohls or maurices. But these days I shop online on thredup 90% of the time, and I buy kohls brands and maurices on thredup LOL.

If you sign up for the kohls text deals they send 1-2 messages a week and sometimes you get those 20-30% off your total purchase coupons. Or ones like "Spend 100 save 20"

Mine would be "Nagatanien Yuzu Kosho Furikake"

This man is lying to you. Use tony chachere's instead of Old Bay and Use Zatarans crab boil. Also put crushed whole garlic, corn on the cob and potatoes in the pot.

Anyone who say's old bay in favor of Tony's is objectively wrong.

Todd's Dirt. Rub this on your steak. Mix it into your burger meat. Put it on your chicken. Then wrap whatever you choose to put it on in bacon. It is seriously the best seasoning ever.

For those (like me) who didn't know what Old Bay is, it's a seasoning popular in Maryland.

Amazon has a few sizes

make sure you have a good size pot to steam them in...a turkey fryer with some kind of insert that keeps the crabs out of the steaming liquid will do well (an overturned stainless mixing bowl could do the trick). Also remember to get your hands on a big can of Old Bay. Really no point in steaming crabs if you don't have it. fill a cereal bowl half full with kosher salt and then fill it to the top with old bay. mix. sprinkle over crabs (do it in layers)

Get live crabs. Large males if the can (females don't tastes as good and should be in the bay anyway). Crabs can actually survive quite a while out of the water if kept in the right conditions, so overnight fedex should be fine. Also get yourself a half dozen crab mallets ....opening claws and such. Re-heating crabs is bad bad bad.

Order a case of natty boh too. Pour a couple cans in the bottom, toss in equal cans of both water & vinegar and you should be good to go. Just make sure there's enough to steam for ~30 mins (likely less)

As for pricing, you're going to get raped. Take it like a man.

As for how many you need...you can prob get by with a half bushel. Experience bawlmorons could plow through a dozen crabs a no prob, but your friends' inexperienced kentucky hands are going to tire of picking crabs before they get to a dozen.

Steam a dozen ears of corn too. 'Cause it's awesome. I'd suggest silver queen, but whatever the local mega mart has will do.

Enjoy...my daughters and a family friend pulled a dozen and a half off their pier a few weeks ago and demolished them...sooo yummy.

i'm from Maryland originally, where Old Bay originated and is made, and i can tell you, this stuff is like crack. i can/have put it on practically everything that is not a sweet dish. put it on chicken regularly, pizza, any veggies, and of course on any seafood. i go thru an entire bottle of it by myself annually, if not quicker. been having a lot more of it during keto so this one may not last that long....

To all my non-Marylanders out there, go now and change your life

Sazon Goya con Azafran is amazing. Old Bay is awesome, as is most any Cajun style seasoning- Tony Chachere's, Slap Ya Mama. TexJoy is also delicious and Tajin as well.

But salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and cumin will work magic too.

Adding in a jar dried holy trinity (Cajun mirepoix) base makes good stuff too- onions, celery, and green bell peppers.

Seaweed inevitably has a good amount of iodine in it. I’m sure you don’t have to worry.

Out of convenience, I’d recommend trying this stuff. The taste isn’t strong and you can easily use it to increase iodine from meals. It displays the RDA of iodine provided.

Just a heads up though, you can order it on amazon. However, this one could hold out for a while.

I usually use something along the lines of this, though not this specific one. I get a store brand from our local grocery store Meijer.

Here is one on Amazon

There ya go.
