The
commercial local version of this condiment (sherry peppers) is made by Bermuda-based Outerbridge Peppers from a secret recipe of sherry wine, carefully selected peppers, and
other good things. Royal Navy sailors first made this popular pepper sauce to make their
rations more interesting. Long, slow simmering is the key. It is different in content,
taste, and texture to any New England style fish or clam chowder. It should not be
too watery or over thickened with corn starch or with too much tomato paste. The best
recipe has boiled up fish carcasses. |
