I am making corn and crab bisque today. The recipe calls for liquid crab boil. I couldn't find that at the grocery (I am in Oregon). Does anyone have suggestions for a substitute? I may just leave it out all together if I can't find a good alternative.

Use a bit of Old Bay dry seasoning. That might work.

I think crab boil would ruin your bisque. Go for subtle.

Corn and Shrimp Soup, Seafood Gumbo's, etc. I always use a little crab boil.

I never use crab boil. I just use Tony's for seasoning. There's probably some other brand of "cajun seasoning" in Oregon.

I have to say the Prejeans recipe is the best I have had for this dish.

Ditto. They have the best C&C Bisque I've ever had.

The recipe I used was from Emerill. It turned out good and I went ahead and left out the crab boil. I used his Essence for seasoning and I am glad I didn't put anything else in it because it was pretty rich without it.

It was my first time making a bisque and a blond roux. I want to try that Prejean recipe and see how that compares. I have found many of Emerill's recipes to be pretty rich. Always really good, but sometimes a little too much.
