Just when you thought it was safe to overlook locally-made hot sauces and spicy condiments, our friends at The Spicy Sharkhttp://www.thespicyshark.com are back with Blacktip Widow Hot Sauce!

As its name might suggest, Blacktip Widow is the latest addition to Spicy Shark’s award-winning 6-Fin series of extreme (but extremely delicious and palatable) hot sauces and expands the line into the realm of Thai green curry sauces. Personally researched at dozens of Thai eateries across the country by head Shark Gabe DiSaverio, Blacktip Widow is a vegan and gluten-free blend of coconut milk, lemongrass, and traditional Thai spices with Ghost Pepper, Carolina Reaper, and authentic Thai Birdseye Pepper. Even the name combines Thai tastes by combining the Blacktip Shark and Black Widow spider, both of which are native to Thailand. 

If you want your heat a bit closer to home, then you HAVE to make it to the latest edition of the already world-famous New England Hot Sauce Fest which is already scheduled for July 26, 2025 at the Smuttynose Brewery in Hampton, NH. As always, it is already shaping up to be a gathering of heat-bringers and heat-seekers the likes of which our region has never seen and also a fundraiser for environmental- and shark-friendly causes and groups that has raised thousands in just a few years. In addition to the great selections of spice from all over, as well as great locally-sourced food and = music, this year’s Fest will also feature pepper- and wing-eating contests and other spicy and sweet family-friendly fare and fun!

So whether you want to Thai one on when looking for spice or if you are spiced curious and want a safe and fun place to explore, the Spicy Shark has just the right bite for you!
