Fish Pepper - Red

Heat: Medium (20,000 SHU)

80 Days. A historic African-American heirloom Capsicum annuum with roots in the oyster houses and seafood kitchens of the Chesapeake Bay region, where it was used to season fish and shellfish dishes throughout the 1800s. Fish Pepper Red features striking variegated green and cream foliage and striped pods around 3 cm long that ripen through shades of cream and orange to a vivid red — an ornamental and productive variety as visually appealing as it is useful in the kitchen.

Compact plants reach around 60 cm and perform well in pots or garden beds in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and consistent moisture.

Harvest: Pick when pods are fully red for peak heat and flavour.
Flavour: Crunchy, sweet, and fruity with a touch of tangy citrus.
