Old Bay is the greatest spice on the face of this Earth (beating out salt, pepper, and Cavenders All-Purpose Greek Seasoning). Legend has it that it was developed by the gods as a seasoning for their seafood, but one of them accidentally dropped the can and it landed in Maryland. The Marylanders didn't know what to use it for, and so they tried it on everything and realized that it made the food better by an order of approximately 7.9331 magnitude. In all seriousness though, Old Bay is Jesus to Marylanders. It tastes amazing on everything from crabs to fries. If you haven't tried it and find a can of it in your local grocery store (unlikely if you live anywhere more than 200 miles from the Chesapeake) and get it. You will not regret it.
