Investing in any type of spice rub will make your food taste like you've been slaving away in the kitchen (or on the grill) for hours. It elevates the flavor of your dishes 10-fold and all you need to do is rub it on! This particular Seafood Rub has a blend of paprika, garlic, onion, parsley, mustard, turmeric, pepper, and dill weed. This trout literally took 10 mins to make, throwing it on a hot pan (skin-side down) and finishing it off with garlic, lemon juice, and fresh oregano leaves. 

MarketSpice is a great little store in a corner of Pike Place Market in Seattle, tucked away behind the famous yelling fishermen stand. It was a bulk spice, seasoning, and loose-leaf tea store that was absolute heaven.
