What is your favorite cajun spice?

Davey Crockett · Jun 28, 2015

I like cajun everything, Have 3 or 4 different shakers of cajun spice that I thought was up to par till we had some store bought pre-seasoned cajun ribs. I think I need to upgrade my spices. What is your favorite ?

Good thread. I love Cajun as well, but generally just use what the wifey buys

As for store-bought brands I really like Zatarain's Blackened seasoning.

On pickled muskies?

I cleaned an 18 lb pike the other day. Im hoping it tastes as good as muskie.

It is the best I have tried.

Pike is the poor mans muskie....

I like tones cajun you can buy in bulk container at Sams. Its pretty much all spices, so you dont waste a bunch of money paying for what is essentially seasoned salt, like a lot of the others are. Just add some ground up water-softener salt if you feel its necessary!

I was once fed some pike prepared like blackend redfish. The spice was bought at a Space Aliens restaurant. It was wonderful.

I agree with lycan... I prefer lower salt versions and Tone's is surprisingly good.

I tried Saltier Than Obama and was disappointed.

Seriously?

I would rather eat dog turds than anything with that name on it.

He he... I figured you'd recoil on that one.

Great flavor... But it was too salty for my taste.

Enslow · Jun 29, 2015

For the record, i would never clean an 18 lb muskie...

Cracking them over the head and throwing them back is much easier!

Here's some walleye cheeks with Zatarain's on the left and standard saltine cracker crust on the right.

It gets my vote. Did a shrimp boil last fall with it and it was
yum delicious

Yep, pan fry some walleye seasoned with this. Excellent change of pace from breaded fish.
