Hey Pinchy,
Aren't you from PA. I would think you're best bet would be to stop by Harbor Spice in Forest Hill. Their #1375 is almost identical to JO and you can get 50 lb for around $60.
Seems like a pretty good deal to me.

Wye River Seasoning sells 50 lb box located at the Prime Outlet in Queenstown.
JO #2 can also be found at Angler's Sport Center on Rt 50 just west of the Bay Bridge or East of Annapolis.

I have purchased J.O.Spice at a factory distribution center at the following location: J.O. Spice Co., 3721 Old Germantowne Rd., Halethorpe, MD 21227; 410-247-5205 They also sale at this location the other JO Spice Products, They sale #2 spice in multiple size containers and I have found this location the least expensive. Give them a call and get their prices since I have forgotten.

Bringing up the J.O. topic again, I want to ask if the spice can go bad after a period of time. I have 2-5lb. buckets of J.O. #2, one is opened. What is the shelf life on these unopened and opened. If I can start catching crabs, I probably don`t have to worry about this.

Definitely has a shelf life. It will lose that bright orange look and get kind of washed out looking. Basically loses the heat - when that happens, we usually put a little fresh Old Bay on with the JO, and if that's not good enough, you can add some red pepper flakes.
If all you have is 2 - 5lb containers you should be okay - I usually buy a 75lb box, takes a year or so to start losing it's flavor.

I talked to the JO Distributor off of Rte 1 in Henlopen and they told me that you will lose the bright orange from the effects of light but the flavor will be good for at least a year or longer. Store in a dark place(i.e. no direct light) the effect bright orange should be minimized.

We bought a 50 lb. box last year and I vacuum sealed what was left, stuck it on the freezer and it's as fresh this year as it was when we bought it. FJ

I have been out of serious crabbing for approx 4 years while I was making babies and I used some 4 year old #2 last week on a bushel with no complaints.......but boy was it pale in color.
