These scallops look great! Nice flavors – I love the ginger in them – and the old bay, of course! I would love to win the package, I just used old bay in my crab cakes. It does wonderful things to fish and seafood.

I love Old Bay seasoning. I use it in my crab cakes, fish cakes, seafood and vegetable soup, and in most of my steamed fish. We eat fish of some sort twice a week and I would love an Old Bay gift pack. Thanks.
Oh my my my – I would be ELATED to be such a lucky recipient… I’m a transplanted Texan (now in the midwest), and it would just make my day to have a brilliant reminder/flavor of the Gulf!
Cheers!
I have recently rediscovered Old Bay. I have been married for 47 years and used Old Bay during the first years. I then kind of forgot about it being tempted with all of the ” new” “products that were advertised. Some time ago I saw a cole slaw recipe that used Old Bay. I purchased a new box and then went to town. I use Old Bay on almost everything. I even shared my secret with family (12 siblings) and spouses at a reunion. It is a whole new day for Old Bay.
old bay is the best seafood spice mix I have ever used
old bay,we can not run out of this or we have to make a late night run to the grocers
Wow that is so awsome I don’t now to much about old bay but I think you can use it on fish and chicken? A guy on my ship had Old Bay with him at every meal. He said he couldn’t go underway with out it.
i wanna try it on fish! i used to just grill it with no seasoning, and i want to spice iup my tastebuds!
Thanks for all your comments. I will do the drawing from a hat shortly and forward your name to the Old Bay contact.
Good luck All!
Congrats to Reeni of Cinnamon and Spice! The Old Bay Winner

I have never tried scallops but that looks really good. Would love to try the Old Bay.
