Chili Fish Pepper: The Crunchy and Variegated Heritage
The Fish Pepper is an heirloom variety of the Capsicum annuum species, with a rich history linked to African-American communities in the Chesapeake Bay region (Baltimore and Philadelphia), dating back to before 1870. Its rarity and the fact it was nearly extinct in the 20th century give it unique cultural value. It was the "secret" of oyster and crab houses, used to season fish and shellfish dishes, hence its name.
Moderate Heat and Citric Flavor.
Its heat level is classified as Mild to Medium, ranging between 25,000 to 30,000 SHU. What makes it special is its mild, sweet flavor with citrus notes that perfectly complement seafood without overpowering its delicate taste. The burn profile is clean and quick.
Shape and Culinary Use.
Fish Pepper fruits are small to medium (about 4 to 5 cm) and their greatest visual attraction is the variegation (striping). The plants have white and green mottled foliage, and immature peppers are cream/green with dark stripes. As they ripen, they transform into a spectacular mix of white, green, orange, brown, and finally red. Immature white peppers were traditionally used to season white sauces without changing their color.
Chili Fish Pepper - SHU 30,000. Pack of 10 selected seeds, with identification sticker of species, origin and heat.
