Understanding Pepper Heat
The heat in chile peppers comes from capsaicin. It activates heat-sensitive receptors in the mouth, creating a warming sensation without actually raising the food’s temperature.
Capsaicin is concentrated mainly in the pale inner membranes of a pepper, not the seeds themselves. Different pepper varieties and quantities allow a seasoning blend to range from mild warmth to a powerful kick.

X-Hot: Our Crab Seasoning with the Burn Turned Up
Some crab pickers finish a dozen without reaching for their drink, then look around for more heat. This blend is for them. It keeps the profile of our classic crab seasoning but pushes the kick well past it, so the flavor stays familiar while the fire does not. Fair-weather spice fans should start with the classic; this shaker means it.
How Hot-Crab Households Use It
The purist's route is straight into the steamer: coat the layers of crabs before steaming and let every shell come out wearing the heat. The gentler path is blending. Cut it half-and-half with the classic blend, then slide the ratio hotter batch by batch until the table finally says when.
Feeding a Mixed Crowd
Not everyone at a feast wants their lips buzzing. Steam the pot with the milder classic, set a shaker of X-Hot out on the paper, and let the heat-seekers finish their own crabs to taste; everyone picks from the same pile and nobody suffers or settles.
From Mild to Menacing
If your kitchen wants the whole range in one box, the full four-shaker Harbour House pack runs from mild to fiery in a single order, and our recipe archive has more places to put spice than a crab shell.
It stores shelf-stable with no cooler required. Just be honest about how much heat the household can take before you order two.
Frequently Asked Questions
What seasoning do you use on the crabs?
Our traditional crab seasoning is a proprietary blend of spices with a flavor similar to JO Spice or Old Bay seasonings.
What is the difference between traditional and Obrycki's crab seasoning?
