Started using Tony’s in the early 80’s. Still do. Treat it like salt...seasoned salt.

I have tried just about every commercial seasoning mix, and have found that they all use too much salt. We started mixing our own a few years back, and can control the salt that way.

Started out with Tony's years ago and have since switched to Slap Ya Mama. I find it more balanced in flavor than Tony's and prefer the taste.

I use them lightly and not too heavy handed since their main ingredient is always salt.

Uncle Larry's. All kinds of flavors going on here. Not just the basic 80% salt and a few other things.

Purple jar of Paul Prudhomme magic (probably considered "original" flavor) is probably my favorite seasoning blend by far. Unfortunately it's hard to come by so I try to keep a back stock when I can find it.

Took me a min to find it on the Paul Prudhomme website but this stuff is da bomb

Tony's is always in my house. I haven't found a significant difference between it and other brands, so I've just stuck with it.

I keep a jar of Emeril's "essence" spice mix recipe on hand.

My favorite of all time is Paul Prudommes blackend redfish seasoning. You can use it on just about anything, especially blackening fish

I have multiple kinds on hand, but don't use them very much. I like to control the salt more and I don't like everything to taste like those seasonings.

I use Morton's Nature's Seasoning or Cavender's more than the other seasonings if I'm using a mixture.

I love Paul Prudhomme's salmon seasoning on salmon and on sweet potatoes. I love his pork and veal seasoning on pork dishes and I sometimes put it on chicken.

Everything Cajunland puts out is solid. Their poultry rub is very good.

Targil's French Fry Seasoning is good on just about anything including popcorn.
