Default REC - For oyster lovers

> > Old Bay started in your city???

For those not familiar with this stuff, it's a dry spice mix. Heavy on
salt and celery seed, with smaller quantities of pepper, bay (laurel)
leaf, clove, allspice, ginger, and a few other things. Most often used
on steamed shrimp or crab. There are many "crab joints" around the
Chesapeake Bay area that use it, or proprietary spice blends, variations
on the same theme.
