I sprinkle some in tuna salad, on omelets, even good to season a sour
cream chip dip... I've never used Old Bay for crabs, shrimp, etc., not
that I can remember when I last cooked crustaceans. I abhor the
taste/texture of crab meat, and I'm not going out of my way for shrimp
or lobster... the only way I like those are boiled in sea water, no
seasoning... but I can live without. To me once shrimp and lobster
have been frozen they're trash.
