In the 1800s, home gardens in Baltimore’s African American community were brought to life with splashes of color—streaks of lime, burnt orange, and flame-red dangling from green- and white-splotched leaves—the fish pepper plant. Long before Old Bay became Baltimore’s trademark spice, the pepper lent its heat to seafood

Fish peppers can liven up many a fish, from crab cakes to stir fries, stews to fresh salsas. And like other hot peppers, the fish variety lends itself well to preserving – be it pickled, or dried and ground for later use.

Compared to our jalapeño reference point, fish peppers always equals the heat of a jalapeño (2,500 to 8,000 SHU), but it can eclipse it easily, topping out at 12 times hotter. It’s more in line with its parent, the serrano chili. Its floor is lower (5,000 vs 10,000 SHU) and its ceiling is higher (30,000 vs. 23,000 SHU), but their median heats are quite close (17,500 SHU for the fish pepper and 16,500 SHU for the serrano.) This range puts it squarely in the middle of medium-heat hot peppers.
