Tony’s more spice is very good

I agree. And I’m a CoonAss…

Uncle Larry’s.
Tony’s, slap ya mama, etc, all those are too salty, basic blends that you usually add yourself while cooking anyway.

a good pre-mixed alternative to Tony's or Slap is Camp Dog

you’ve gotten good answers here and it made me try and remember the last time I used a seasoning blend and I can’t…I’ve just gotten away from it and don’t miss them at all primarily due to the salt. I want to salt my food separately and it I’m doing that I just as soon season everything else separately

salt, pepper, cayenne is all you really need anyway. the only blend I actually keep and use is cavenders salt-free, which when used with salt/black/red is actually a pretty damn good flavor profile

I but a salt free "new orleans" seasoning from my local farmers market. I really enjoy it. I tried salt free Tony's but it's first ingredient is brown sugar.
It's OK. But I n prefer my fault free nola seasoning or salt free spicy seasoning.
I don't really add salt to anything and I find everything too salty.

I've been using Cajun Two Step and Pi-Yah almost exclusively for a bit now.

2 step is hard to beat. Not overly salty or spicy, when I want the hest I throw in some 2 step fire

I like Camp Dog too. Just happen to find it in a small store near Ville Platte.
