In recent months, Matt’s Meals has been promoting many of the food makers who have been helping others get through the pandemic and deal with other challenges. And while many keep their fellow humans (in mind first and foremost, there are others who are taking an even braoder view.

Among these is our friend Gabe DiSaverio of The Spicy Shark.

As Matt’s Meals fans know, I LOVE hot sauces and the wide menu of hot honeys, sauces, and syrups from The Spicy Shark provide me with plenty of great go-to’s.

While I could easily go on and on about the many mouth- and eye-watering options they offer, I also wanted to talk about how the Shark is not just a name. In fact, Gabe and his team are among the most prominent shark savers in New England and they are calling on their fans to help save the shark and support the ocean habitat.

If you go to www.thespicyshark.com/save-the-sharks, you can connect to The Spicy Shark’s many sea-saving partners. If you go to their blog (www.thespicyshark.com/blog), you can get ideas that will help you preserve your own health and those of our sea-faring friends. Among these are educating yourself and others by wacthing shark-related films (including the Netflix documentary “Seaspiracy”), volunteering with one of the many sea- and wildlife-preserving organizations (including Sharks4Kids.com), asking if your favorite seafood restaurant serves shark (in which case, they shoud become your ex-favorite), and going to events like Shark-Con (yes, it is a thing!). There is even a link to suggested gifts for fellow fin fans!

So while The Spicy Shark is a great place to bring the heat to our fellow humans, we all need to remember that, in order to keep the ocean and the entire earth cool, it is a good idea to bring the heat!
