dried Fish Pepper
The dried Fish Pepper is a historic heirloom variety of Caribbean origin, documented in the United States since the 1870s thanks to African American communities around the Chesapeake Bay, who used it mainly to flavor seafood dishes and white sauces. It is famous for its white and green variegated foliage, unique among pepper varieties.
The dried Fish Pepper Plant
plant belongs to the species Capsicum annuum and has a compact habit, typically 60-90 cm tall. Its most striking feature is the white-and-green streaked foliage, which makes the plant distinctly ornamental as well as productive.
How to Sow dried Fish Pepper
sowing should be done between February and March, in a seedbed at about 22-26°C, transplanting after the last frosts. Fruits reach full ripeness in about 80 days from transplanting.
How to Grow dried Fish Pepper
growing favors full sun exposure and fertile, well-drained soil. Note: being a Capsicum annuum, it crosses easily with other varieties of the same species grown nearby, so it should be isolated if seed purity matters.
Tips for dried Fish Pepper
the fruits go through a unique color sequence: starting creamy white with green streaks, then turning orange with dark streaks, up to a bright red at full ripeness. The immature white fruits were historically the most sought-after, since they would not darken white sauces served with fish.
Diseases and Pests of dried Fish Pepper
generally resistant, it can occasionally be affected by aphids and red spider mites, especially under protected cultivation. Good air circulation between plants helps prevent the main fungal issues common to all nightshades.
Uses and Curiosities of dried Fish Pepper
Fish Pepper has a heat level ranging from 5,000 to 30,000 SHU on the Scoville scale, comparable to or slightly above a serrano, with a subtly sweet aftertaste. Dried, it is ground to flavor fish chowders, creole sauces and traditional African American dishes.
Properties of dried Fish Pepper
like all hot peppers, dried Fish Pepper is rich in capsaicin, the compound responsible for its heat and with rubefacient properties stimulating circulation, as well as good amounts of vitamin C.
