- Comments: Seafood base paste and chicken base paste add in lots of flavor to these recipes. They also incorporate all the salt which is needed. We found chicken base paste in the soup aisle at Dierberg's in a brand called Better Than Bouillon. (The chicken base paste can be substituted for seafood base paste, if necessary, Marcos says, but the gumbo will have less of a seafood flavor.) Allen's Warehouse Market, 8543 Page Avenue, carries frzn lobster, shrimp or possibly clam base.
