Cookie, Old Bay is available in just about every supermarket in America. You should have no trouble finding it.
Originated by the Baltimore Spice Co. more than 60 years ago and now owned and packaged by McCormack, Old Bay is a seasoning mix particularly formulated for seafood, but good for poultry and meats as well.
Ingredients are celery salt, mustard, red pepper, black pepper, bay leaves, cloves, allspice, ginger, mace, cardamom, cinnamon, and paprika.
Making your own crabcakes isn't difficult. Anyone who can make a hamburger can do it. The trick is to keep the filler content as small as possible, so that you taste crab rather than breadcrumbs. And to use real crabmeat. The make-believe stuff won't work.
