My smelling isn't great but I bought a new bottle and it smells correct. Is there any way I can spice up my old stuff? Its probably 15? years old? It a whole pint so I hope I can use it somehow. Thanks

Salad dressing mebbe? Trying to help here.

Hahaha. Probably pretty rank for that! Maybe trying it on salad will make you rethink its potency.

Shell fish essence un-cut.added to the oil. maybe 1oz may bring the pint back to the original smell.

I eat smoked oysters quite often and save the oil. I use it to spike fish oil and it seems to help.
I've git a quart of 20ish year old shellfish oil that I'm going to spike with it.

Its synthetic. lot of synthetic fall off after a year or two. The natural stuff lasts only for months

Yes

So where do I find the un-cut stuff? I checked Pauls, MTP and FNT. Didn't see any un-cut stuff?

Looks like JR and son's have the shell fish essence.

… you put em on a cracker with Tabasco sauce?

That's the problem, nobody is going to advertise their shellfish is cut. Buying large amounts like pints and quarts for a bargain should be the first indication it's cut. I'm sure Paul's is not cut and I've always said buying from lure makers directly is your better bet. Uncut shellfish will last you a long long time.

Shellfish essence is un-cut. Shell fish oil is cut;
Shrimp essence is un-cut. Shrimp oil is cut.
Make your own oils using essence.

Then what are they selling here?

These appear to be oil. The true un-cut version would just be labeled "Essence" a straight up synthetic. The synthetic Essence can be combined with an oil, let's say vegetable oil and the shellfish 'OIL" is produced. I would call the dealer in order to find out what this product actually is just because it say's oil and not essence. Essence has a very powerful odor. I believe I read Nick Wyshinski had several synthetic formulas developed. Even a cheese version.
It appears the Sterling has bottles that are labeled "Essence", Several verities also,

Wow thanks everyone!

… that’s the only way to eat them. Especially at deer camp. Or watching football on the tube. Or sitting in the truck waiting for the rain to let up. You get the idea.

Thank you camlock

Welcome ,Anytime I can help friend.

Jr and Sons says "essence oil" just like F&T does. I have never found what I thought was pure shell fish but once. That was 15 years ago or so. I got about a gallon in a two gallon metal can.. I gave $150 for it then, it seems like.

Sterling Fur has a line up of Essence" However I do not see a shellfish essence anymore.
