THE HISTORY OF OLD BAY

Every Baltimoreans should know what Old Bay is, if you don’t you have been living under a rock and we will move straight into education.

Old Bay seasoning is a unique blend of herbs and spices that was developed by German immigrant Gustav Brunn in 1939. Over 75 years ago, Baltimoreans first sampled Old Bay’s zesty flavor and from that moment on, seafood wasn’t really seafood without it.

So how did this unique, bold blend get its name? Believe it or not, its original name was “Delicious Brand Shrimp and Crab Seasoning.” That name didn’t stick, but the taste sure did. A more memorable name was inspired by a steamship line (Old Bay Line) that traveled the Chesapeake between Maryland and Virginia. 

A few things you probably didn’t know about Old Bay:

    Man! It's a good season for fried chicken as well. I use this season on all my fried meats. Chicken, beef and pork chops.
