AuthorNote: This recipe is my spin on flavorful croquetas de pescado
(Spanish fish croquettes), which are served as an appetizer at tapas bars.
They are simple to prepare and are a unique appetizer at parties.

Egyptian Seafood Seasoning Mix
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground coriander

Combine ingredients in a small airtight container, and store in the
refrigerator for up to 1 year.
Makes 4 teaspoons (4 one-teaspoon servings).

AuthorNote: This unique Egyptian seafood seasoning is great alternative to
high-sodium commercial varieties.
Turmeric has a notable role in history. It has been used to repel ants in
gardens, as a natural dye, and as and antiseptic and anti-inflammatory
agent in traditional medicine since antiquity.
