West Coast Searing Spice

Celebrate the best the West Coast has to offer with this Asian-inspired spice blend. Packed with bold peppery notes from black pepper and Szechuan pepper, balanced by the aromatic warmth of star anise, fennel, and cinnamon, this blend brings exceptional depth of flavour to seafood and beyond.

When cooked over high heat, it caramelizes beautifully, creating a rich, flavourful crust that enhances both the texture and taste of fish and seafood.
