Which one in BR carries chackbay? I’ve been buying it but calling the manufacturer and having it shipped. Cost $20 a case to get shipped



One on airline has it.

Jason Seither of “Seither’s Seafood” in Harahan is selling his own blend out of the restaurant. He’s calling it Amplified and it has a great blend spices and heat from a guy who’s been boiling for a long time

The Chackbay I ordered will be delivered today. I cannot wait to try it with the LA brand.

I second Seither's Seafood seasoning bag mix in Harahan. It's great stuff.

You don't need to go into too many specifics...but is it centered around Louisiana and some other mix?

Louisiana used to be 12% sodium, check the bag now it’s 17% now. They added salt. I’ve been using it for 8 years. It’s saltier now. I imagine it’s cheaper to use more salt, Zats changed around 10 years ago to go to 20% sodium and became too salty to only use.

MetrySaint24 figured it out. I had a a couple of bags leftover from last year. Can't tell you the dates I bought them, but can confirm the salt content is higher on the newer bag.

Awe f*ck me!!! Another good brand gets changed and loses a customer! I understand making money and I am sure the LA Brand of products were doing just fine. Why in the hell does corporate conglomerates buy companies that people like and mess with the formula???? I just do not not understand. There are other ways to recoup your margins after an acquisition! Simple Cajun Business School teaches you this! Do not need a Harvard student to tell me how to f*ck up a business!

If you are in the boil seasonings business your business is about to take off!

I actually think Louisiana needed to up to 14-15%, but 17 is a bit too much. Boiled Friday and my 2nd Batch was way too salty, checked the bag and realized what had happened. I think it’s pretty ridiculous to raise your salt content by 50% and not tell anyone.

Nice. I was actually going to do this same thing since i have a few bags leftover from last year. I just haven't bought the new stuff. But this is only a difference of 153 g per bag. A lot, but not a HUGE difference when most people add a whole tube of salt (737 g).

But, something else to think about. Both bags weigh 2.04 kg. That means there's a difference of 0.15 kg between old and new. So 0.15 kg less seasoning/spices and 0.15 kg more salt.
