Tidewater – Organic Seafood Seasoning & Boil Blend

A Coastal Classic, Reimagined with Clean Ingredients

Tidewater is our organic seafood seasoning inspired by the classic flavors of a Carolina crab boil. Handed down from Outer Banks locals known as “High-Tiders,” this blend is perfect for traditional seafood boils, seafood salads, or simply seasoning cooked shrimp and white fish.

Balanced Flavor with a Gentle Kick

Tidewater leans savory and herbaceous, with just a subtle hint of cayenne to round things out – nothing overpowering, just enough to bring out the best in your seafood.

An Old Bay Alternative You’ll Actually Feel Good About

Whether you're making a Low Country Boil, Frogmore Stew, or looking for a cleaner Old Bay replacement, Tidewater delivers bold coastal flavor without the fillers.

How to Use It
  • Add to a seafood boil (about half a pouch per gallon of water)
  • Sprinkle on crab, scallops, or cooked shrimp after boiling
  • Toss with corn, potatoes, or veggies
  • Mix into seafood salad for a zesty pop
  • Use as a breading mix for fried fish or chicken

Tried four so far, and each one’s been amazing!

I love to cook and having these in the cabinet has been exciting. I used Tidewater liberally on fresh flounder with olive oil. It was wonderful without being overpowering. Just that and fresh lemon for a 5 star simple dinner.

Dat’s Money dude

We’ve made Shrimp and Grits a handful of times with tidewater, and it makes for an absolutely amazing meal. It boosts the shrimp flavor to the next level, but also it’s nice not getting all the toxins from something like Old Bay or other seafood seasonings. Tidewater is money!

Looooove!!!! I will definitely buy more.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between Tidewater and Old Bay?

Tidewater is an organic seafood seasoning with a similar coastal flavor profile, but made with clean, fully transparent ingredients. Unlike blends that rely on proprietary recipes, we list every ingredient – no hidden flavors or mystery blends – so you know exactly what you’re getting.

Can I use Tidewater in a seafood boil?

Absolutely! Use about half a pouch (or half a bottle) per gallon of water. It’s perfect for crab boils, shrimp boils, and Low Country boils. Add extra cayenne if you want more heat.

Is Tidewater spicy?

Not really. It has a mild hint of cayenne to round out the flavor, but it’s not hot or overpowering. Great for families and anyone who prefers bold flavor without the burn.

Why is sea salt not organic?

Sea salt isn't considered "organic" in the USDA sense because it's a mineral, not a product of agriculture, and thus doesn't fit the definition of organic food, which focuses on agricultural practices.

What else can I use Tidewater on besides seafood?

Plenty! It’s delicious on corn, potatoes, chicken, fried fish, and even in seafood salad or as a fry breading. It’s versatile enough to use well beyond the boil pot.

DESCRIPTION

Tidewater is my take on a classic Carolinas seafood seasoning used directly on seafood or as the key ingredient in a boil. Whether you call it Tidewater, Frogmore Stew, or Low Country Boil you are going to love the flavor that was passed down to me from some "High-Tiders" on the Outer Banks. This seasoning is not spicy and if you are using it for a Cajun crawfish boil a significant amount of cayenne pepper should be added. In addition, this blend is lower in salt content than most seafood seasonings and may need an addition of salt when boiling in large quantities. This pairs amazingly well with any white fish, crabs, shrimp, scallops, and really anything that swims. Excellent as a fry breader mix, as the main ingredient in a boil, or sprinkled directly on the seafood prior to cooking or right before serving. Use half a bottle per gallon of water in a boil and save some for after the food emerges from the water. Also great on chicken, and vegetables like corn and potatoes.
