Delmarva Seasoning (Old Bay Substitute) image

As all you crab afficionados know, the term "Delmarva" refers to the coastal areas bordering on the states of Delaware (Del), Maryland (mar)and Virginia (va) where the world's best crabmeat is harvested. Thing is that a lot of people go to a lot of trouble (and a lot of expense) to buy the best lump crabmeat available -- but then they use a mass-produced commercial product to season it. Weird! This recipe for 'homemade' seasoning is courtesy of Epicurious. All you Old Bay die-hards, I defy you to try it and tell me you can't taste a difference!! :)

This is a great substitute for Old Bay. It has all the same flavors, but it's not as salty.

This Old Bay substitute is a lifesaver! I didn't have any on hand for my crab boil, but this blend of spices hit the spot perfectly. My guests couldn't tell the difference!
