Chesapeake Dry Rub
Maryland born. BBQ built.
Way beyond crabs.
Chesapeake is Scott’s Smoked Q’s sweet, smoky, savory dry rub with that classic Baltimore-style seafood seasoning kick on the back end.
This wasn’t built to sit in the cabinet waiting for crab night. I used it when I was catering on brisket, wings, pulled pork, ribs, chicken, vegetables, and anything else that needed that sweet-smoky-coastal punch.
It brings BBQ flavor up front, coastal seasoning on the finish, and enough versatility to go from shrimp and salmon to brisket, wings, pork, potatoes, popcorn, eggs, vegetables, and even vanilla ice cream without missing a beat.
Seafood-friendly? Absolutely.
Seafood-only? Not even close.
Perfect for: crab, shrimp, salmon, grilled fish, brisket, wings, pulled pork, ribs, chicken, pork, corn on the cob, roasted potatoes, vegetables, eggs, fries, popcorn, vanilla ice cream, and everyday cooking.
How to Use It
Use Chesapeake anywhere you want that coastal-meets-BBQ flavor.
For BBQ, use it on brisket, wings, pulled pork, ribs, chicken, pork, burgers, or anything headed for the smoker, grill, flat top, or oven.
For seafood, season crab, shrimp, salmon, fish, or scallops before grilling, roasting, sautéing, or blackening.
For everyday cooking, use it on potatoes, corn, vegetables, eggs, fries, popcorn, or anything that needs more flavor than plain salt and pepper could ever dream of bringing.
And yes — try it on vanilla ice cream. Sounds wrong. Tastes right.
Sprinkle it before cooking, finish with it after cooking, or use it right at the table.
