Deadliest Catch – Seafood Seasoning

Bold, Bright, Ocean-Ready Flavor With Heat, Crunch, and Smoke

If your seafood seasoning begins and ends with “lemon pepper,” it’s time to level up. Deadliest Catch is a high-impact blend built for cooks who want crunch, heat, umami, and smoke—all in one shake. This isn’t your average fish spice. It’s a Japanese-inspired, smoke-kissed, sesame-forward flavor bomb that was literally engineered to make seafood taste like you know exactly what you’re doing.

With togarashi heat, sesame richness, smoked salt depth, and peppery snap, this blend hits every sensory button at once: spicy, savory, nutty, crunchy, aromatic, smoky, and ocean-friendly.

Where the Inspiration Comes From: Japanese Heat Meets Coastal Cooking

A Togarashi-Inspired Foundation

Togarashi (specifically shichimi togarashi) is a classic Japanese chile and citrus seasoning used on grilled seafood, noodles, tempura, and rice. Its hallmark? Layered spice that enhances natural flavors instead of covering them.

Sesame, Chili, and Citrus: The Ultimate Seafood Trio

Across Asian coastal cuisines, sesame + chili + citrus forms the base of countless seafood dishes—from grilled squid to pan-seared salmon.

Smoked Salt: A Modern Coastal Upgrade

Smoking salt mirrors the ancient tradition of drying fish over smoldering embers—a flavor profile that naturally pairs with shrimp, crab, scallops, and fish.

Deadliest Catch merges these influences into one modern, no-fail seasoning built for everyday home cooking.
