    Chef Prudomme's Blackened Seasoning is the best for grilling or frying fish and chicken. Cajun's Choice Creole and Blackened Seasoning are the best all purpose seasonings.

      I couldn't remember the brand, since my brother bought it in bulk and shared it with me...but I remember now. Sexton brand Cajun Spice Blend. It has a certain something special...to me.

        Tiger Dust is awesome. I am sure it is hard to find outside of LA. Otherwise, Tony Chachere's or house made...

            I got addicted to the one from Watkins - only thing I ever bought there, but I'd get a bottle about every other month from Watkins booth at the Nashville flea market. Then we came out to SoCal, and I lost track of them until I was at the LA County Fair last week, and there was Watkins! "Hey, gimme some of that good ol' Cajun Spice Blend," I said. The fellow gave me just a mournful shake of the head. "They just discontinued it," he said. "Sold the last bottle this morning."

            So I guess I'll try one of those others...

              Develop your own --- Most, if not all, of the commercial blends are primarily Salt/Salt Subsitute. -- By the time you get any seasoning on/in the dish it's so salty you can't taste it ---- Also, you don't need 20 herbs and spices as some popular mail order blends contain ---

              Have Fun & Enjoy!

                I believe I have a jar of Paul Prudhomme's Blackened Seasoning Magic on my shelf...have used it many times to blacken fish. It IS a bit salty, I'll admit...you can certainly make your own, too!

                  Tony Chachere's line will probably make you happy. There's always K-Paul's, and you can
                  easily enough make your own...This link will take you to a site that has plenty of choices:
