Notes

Prepared horseradish: You'll usually find this in the cold area of the seafood department. Do not accidentally use a "horseradish sauce." Prepared horseradish is fuzzy looking and is the raw root; horseradish sauce is a condiment that contains other ingredients like mayonnaise or sour cream, and some fillers.

Old Bay Seasoning: you'll either find this on the spice aisle at the grocery store or in the seafood department.
