Old Bay Seasoned Goldfish Crackers Are Newest MD Craze

HUNT VALLEY, MD — Old Bay, Marylanders' go-to spice, has branched out again. In March the company launched vodka sales with a special taste.

Now, McCormick & Company is selling a limited edition of Old Bay seasoned Goldfish snack crackers. The signature blend of 18 herbs and spices that’s a mainstay on seafood is now on everyone's favorite fish shaped cracker.

Snackers can find original Goldfish crackers topped with Old Bay seasoning. A company news release suggests using the crackers to spice up a bowl of chowder, or crumbled as a breading for fish.

The limited-time flavor is available now wherever Goldfish are sold, for a suggested retail price of $2.79 per 6.6oz bag, while supplies last, according to a news release.

"Old Bay seasoning is delicious on everything from seafood to French fries and everything else. We know our passionate fans often sprinkle Old Bay on their favorite recipes and snacks, including Goldfish crackers," said Jill Pratt, chief marketing officer at McCormick & Company, in a statement. "With each handful, Old Bay Seasoned Goldfish provides our most loyal fans with another fun, bold way to experience our popular spice blend."

On Tuesday night the product was sold out, but you can check the McCormick site for updates and to place orders.

For more than 75 years, the blend of 18 herbs and spices has been a time-honored taste. Just as the recipe hasn't changed, neither has the iconic yellow and blue can graphics. Best known as the seasoning for shrimp, salmon, crab and other seafood dishes, these days, Old Bay is used to flavor hamburgers, chicken, pizza, pasta, vegetable dishes and more.
