Why Tidewater is the New King of Seafood Seasoning
Let’s be honest – when you think of seafood seasoning, one name probably jumps to mind: Old Bay. It’s been around forever, and for a lot of people, it’s the default choice for shrimp boils, crab feasts, and even the occasional Bloody Mary. But here’s the thing: just because something has been around forever doesn’t mean it’s the best.
That’s where Tidewater comes in. Flavor Seed’s organic seafood seasoning is here to shake things up like a storm rolling in off the Chesapeake.
Old Bay: The King of the Past?
We have to give credit where it’s due – Old Bay is a classic. It’s been a staple in seafood seasoning since 1939, and there’s no denying it adds a solid punch to crabs and shrimp. But here’s the problem:
- It’s not organic – If you’re mindful about what you eat, Old Bay doesn’t check that box.
- It’s heavy on salt – Old Bay packs 140mg of sodium per serving, while even their “Less Sodium” version still has 95mg per serving—more than double what you’ll find in Tidewater. Tidewater has just 40mg per serving, giving you flavor without the salt overload.
-
It keeps some of its ingredients secret – Old Bay doesn’t disclose everything in its proprietary spice blend, so you don’t fully know what you’re getting.
Tidewater: The Future of Seafood Seasoning is Organic
Tidewater gives you everything you love about seafood seasoning – made with pure, organic ingredients you can trust. Let’s break it down:
- 100% Organic – No weird fillers, no preservatives, just pure, high-quality spices.
- Tidewater is 100% transparent – Every ingredient is listed, so you know what you’re getting. No mystery “spices” or proprietary blends—just real, organic ingredients.
- A Balanced Blend – With organic celery, coriander, paprika, onion, garlic, mustard, black pepper, thyme, parsley, nutmeg, basil, and cayenne, Tidewater enhances the natural flavor of seafood instead of overpowering it.
-
Less Sodium, More Flavor – With just 40mg of sodium per serving, Tidewater lets the herbs and spices do the work instead of relying on salt to carry the flavor.
