Michael recommended adding Old Bay Seasoning to salmon croquettes. I've never used it--looks good. Ingredients above.
The man who invented it: "Gustav Brunn, a German Jewish refugee who landed in Baltimore with his hand-crank spice grinder after two weeks in Buchenwald concentration camp."
The recipe is secret, but there's a close approximation of Old Bay Seasoning at the Daring Gourmet.
Definitely would be easier for me to buy it... I don't have all these spices on hand, but I do like knowing what's in it. Paprika & celery seeds! I'd never guess.
Benefit of making it myself--I'd leave the salt out. Too many other foods have salt in them--like Worcestershire sauce.
