An amazing collaboration between Fishwife and Fly By Jing! The salmon is sourced directly from Kvarøy Arctic, the first finfish farm to carry the Fair Trade USA seal. Raised by third-generation family farmers in the icy Arctic circle with deep ocean currents that keep the water fresh.

Fed a zero waste, nutrient-rich diet. Raised without antibiotics or chemicals, brined in salt, garlic salt, and brown sugar, then hand-packed into cans with Fly By Jing’s Sichuan Chili Crisp—the first and only 100%, all-natural Sichuan chili sauce. Hand-packed at a family-owned cannery on the coast of Washington State.

Red Sky’s “bloomies” are inspired by the cheeses of old Europe. These tall, drum shaped, lactic-set cheeses are carefully ladled by hand and aged for several weeks to ensure a good “bloomy” rind. The inner paste goes from dense to gooey as it ages and can be eaten at any stage according to your personal preferences. These cheeses deserve to be served at room temp, as you would a brie or camembert, to allow for full sensory appreciation. Red Sky is dusted with smoked paprika.

Based on a traditional Mediterranean recipe made with chicken, spinach, carrots, and other vegetables, which is then infused with cumin, coriander, and rich spices. This delicious blend then fills a delicate flaky pocket of fried dough. One of our favorite samosa, and trust us, we’re picky about samosas.

This is a monster rich stout perfect for cold days like these. Roasted malt, caramel, and espresso aromas lure you in, as the oats provide a silky mouthfeel that fades gracefully into a bittersweet finish.

Pro Tip: Pair with aged cheddar and a long and cold winter night. We especially love this brew’s particularly silky smooth mouthfeel and the company’s origins as a family-operated artisanal brewery that was started on a Vermont horse ranch.
