At one time the seeds were easily available but they became very scarce. The name of fish pepper was given due to the historical use of these peppers with, of course, fish. Very popular in the late 19th century, along the eastern seaboard (around the Chesapeake Bay crab and oyster houses), as a fish seasoning and still is in many areas. This hot pepper is still considered to be the best for cooking fish and shellfish. Its bold flavor is perfect with seafood.
