Island Spice Blend

A unique fusion of sweet and salty, spicy and savoury, Island Spice Blend is an aromatic seasoning that will have your taste buds racing.

With deep Southern roots, this versatile blend brings together the bold flavours of classic Cajun-inspired cooking with the perfect balance of savoury, salty, and subtly sweet notes. Paprika, garlic, cayenne, and ginger provide warmth and depth, while cumin, turmeric, coriander, oregano, thyme, and basil create a rich, well-rounded finish.

From grilled meats and fresh seafood to roasted vegetables and crispy potatoes, Island Spice Blend adds bold flavour without overpowering your food.

It’s the signature seasoning behind the famous fries at Woodfire Restaurant, giving them the crave-worthy flavour our guests know and love. Whether you’re seasoning fresh-cut French fries, crispy potato wedges, or oven-roasted potatoes, this blend delivers the perfect finishing touch.
