Fish Pepper- Organically Grown- 20+ Seeds
$3.59
This African-American heirloom pepper is commonly used in the
Philadelphia/Baltimore/DC region, primarily in seafood dishes. It is said
to have come into use sometime just after the Civil War, but many
believe it is far older ,originating with the slave trade. It has thick
walls with a wonderful flavor. It is "hot", but not quite as hot as a
Jalapeno. I am not a big fan of really hot peppers due to the pain
inflicted, but this variety is a real keeper. Just hot enough to add
that zing to your cooking, but not hot enough to turn people off. I
think it might be the best-flavored pepper out there. The plant will
really stand out in the garden due to its wonderful foliage. The 2-feet
tall plants have stunning white and green mottled leaves, which makes
this variety superb for ornamental and edible landscaping.
