This chili pepper may look similar to your average pepper, but its unique coloring does make it stand out. It is a visual rainbow of color that will make your garden shine! It begins as a creamy white color before changing from yellow to green. Then it transforms from orange to red when it’s fully matured. Sometimes they settle into a brownish-purple color. Many often show stripes of blended colors. This pepper is often described as crunchy, bright, and fresh in flavor with just a hint of bitterness. As stated before, this pepper makes a great companion to seafood dishes. This is because it helps balance the seafood’s brine flavor while maintaining the chili’s spiciness. While the fish pepper is a less commonly known hot pepper, that doesn’t mean it lacks flavor. In recent years, this pepper has taken over the culinary industry. Often compared to the heat of a serrano pepper, this hot pepper doesn’t taste like fish. So where did it get its odd name? The fish pepper became popular in the Caribbean Islands in the 1800's, especially among enslaved people. The African Caribbean people brought these peppers to the continental United States around the 1870's and introduced them to the African American community. The Chesapeake Bay area quickly became a popular hub for this spicy pepper, with Baltimore and Philadelphia making it a culinary staple. This pepper got its name from its common use in seafood dishes. Oyster bars and crab houses often use this hot pepper over others to flavor their dishes with heat! Most fish houses prefer to use the white-colored versions of these peppers to blend into creamy sauces to top their dishes. Full Sun
