On the west coast of the US, we've never heard of this stuff. I was surprised when the Northeast, and ordering french fries, to be asked, "you want regular or old bay"? ike9898 17:58, May 31, 2005 (UTC)
Old Bay Seasoning is really used in and around the Chesapeake Bay, especially for seasoning steamed crabs and vegetables, in fine restaurants and also at home. Old Bay is also known for its excellent crab, tuna and salmon cake mixes. Only in recent years have Old Bay seasonings become popular in New England.
Each region of the United States which has seafood as part of everyday life uses different seasonings. In New Orleans, for example, Zatairains, a food company native to New Orleans, is the primary commercially-available seafood seasoning, particularly its seafood boil seasonings and packaged seasonings (mixes) for crab, tuna and salmon cake mixes. A major flavoring ingredient, which New Orleanians call, "seasoning" and is found in the Zatairains seafood mixes, is clam juice.
Moxie
Much as I love Farmington, Moxie has nothing to do with the town. It was originally created in Lowell, Mass (as a patent medicine) but it has gained much more fame from Lisbon Falls' Moxiefest. Due to that, I'm not sure which location to use. ~ RagingZangetsu 02:23, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
