$3.86The Story
This concentrated fish paste is made by slowly cooking fish meat and bones with vegetables to extract a rich, flavourful juice. That juice is then deglazed with water, white wine, and mushroom concentrate, and reduced several times before being filtered to produce a smooth, intensely savoury paste. At 36.7% concentrated fish cooking juice with 4% fish pulp, it delivers a clean, marine-forward stock base in seconds — something that is notoriously difficult and time-consuming to produce well from scratch at home.
Dissolved in hot water, the fish base produces a light but flavourful stock that works as the foundation for seafood soups, bisques, chowders, risottos, and fish sauces. The addition of white wine and mushroom concentrate in the formula gives it a rounded depth that goes beyond a simple fish broth — there is a subtle savoury complexity that makes sauces built from this base taste more finished and complete. It is also useful as a quick enrichment for existing stocks and cooking liquids — a teaspoon stirred into a poaching liquid or a pan sauce adds immediate marine depth.
Producer: Terre Exotique, a French spice house founded in 1998 after its founder discovered Penja pepper on a plantation in Cameroon. The company sources directly from growers worldwide and processes at its facility in France, maintaining close relationships with producers to ensure traceability and quality across its range.
Ingredients: Concentrated fish cooking juice 36.7%, maltodextrin, yeast extract, fish pulp 4%, vegetable juice, white wine (sulphites), mushroom concentrate, lemon juice, seasonings, water. Allergens: Fish, Sulphites
