Everything in moderation ... Old Bay is said to have started in the bars of Baltimore and used as a way to get the early industrial era guys to eat more crabs (which were supposedly offered for free) and drink more beer. The amount of sodium in any recipe using Old Bay depends on how much seasoning you add. A 1/4 or 1/2 tsp of Old Bay is pretty low on salt.
