Here is the story of ROCKFISH JOHNNIES SPICY SAUCE®:
Created by Chef John Arcuicci in 1998 on Maryland’s Eastern Shore,this spicy gourmet hot sauce has a distinctive flavor different from all other hot sauces. It is produced in small batches and shipped to our clients who have requested cases to share with family and business associates. Not only is it great on chicken wings but it has also inspired Chef John to create a multitude of recipes with it. Many of our customers now request this specialty sauce to complement almost every meal. They enjoy it on their eggs, chicken, pork, grilled fish, burgers and it has even become a dipping sauce for vegetales, french fries and pizza crust.

Here are some suggestions from Chef John:
We created an appetizer called "Rocko Nachos" loaded with homemade cheese sauce,fresh tomtoes,lettuce,onions,jalapeno peppers, cilantro,black olives,mozzarella & cheddar cheese,RJ Spicy Sauce,sour cream & fresh lime juice.
Pan sear and bake your favorite crab cake. Instead of cocktail or tartar sauce,try a dollop of RJ Spicy Sauce.
Bake, broil or fry chicken wings then coat them in RJ Spicy Sauce. One 12 oz. bottle will cover 2 dozen wings(depending on their size).
