Ever wonder how a restaurant makes their sauces and Crab cakes, and soups taste so much better than at home. here is the possible reason - and you can't find the stuff in the store. This might solve the riddle.

I pride myself on being a pretty darn good cook - my wife hardly can cook a lick. I love good sauces, but have struggled over the years with getting extra flavor into dishes. I ran into these bases and when added to a fish soup, or to crab cakes, or a shrimp or clam dip, etc they just add so much extra flavor. I figure if I am going to spend the time to pick crab, I want the dish made to have a "wow" factor. I also figure that if Grandma would have had access to these bases she probably would have used them. And as far as I can tell you can't get these in a store - I have looked and asked.

For The Record - I have no financial or other relationship to any of these companies.

I don't want my home cooked food to taste like a resturant. Very Happy

Mine is better. Very Happy

I think the resturants are using that stuff to try and get that home cooked taste. Very Happy

To get that extra umph of flavor I usually boil the bones/shells to extract all the flavor. Reducing that boil will do the trick every time.

Some of us are old and our tastebuds need some help. Extra flavor never hurts.

You can also fry your shrimp shells in cooking oil to create a very flavorful oil. It is amazing how much flavoring the shells release.
