Calico Fish Rub

HerbalCitrusySalty
Tart sumac, mild red chile, bright dill weed, nutty black sesame, and earthy sea salt all contribute color and texture to this blend. Created with salmon in mind, Calico is just as dreamy on mahi mahi, halibut, or today’s fresh catch.

Customer photo review of Calico Fish Rub

Foolish me the first time that I used this as I automatically salted my fish as one does. It was too salty. Salt is the second ingredient listed for this blend. The next time I used it and omitted the salt my seafood came out perfectly!

Calico Fish Rub

Store owner replied: Yes, typically if the blend has "rub" in the name, it will have salt and/or sugar. That makes it super easy to sprinkle on meat or fish, then throw on the grill or in the pan. I'm glad you figured out how to use it for the seafood you like to cook with.

I used to purchase this years ago. Happy for the limited run!

Calico Fish Rub

I love the flavor of this mix on all kinds of fish, but I also love how pretty it looks - it adds to the final presentation of the dish!

Calico Fish Rub

One of my favorite mixes! I was excited to see it back in a limited run.

Calico Fish Rub

Store owner replied: Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that our Calico Fish Rub is one of your favorites. We're excited to bring it back and hope you continue to enjoy it! 🐟🍋

Please restock! This is my favorite spice blend to use with salmon. The sumac especially ties everything together.

Calico Fish Rub

Store owner replied: Great news! Our Calico Fish Rub is back in stock for the summer. We're so glad to hear it's your favorite for salmon, and we agree—the sumac really does tie everything together perfectly. Happy cooking!

Highly recommended! This is one of my all time favorite spices to use on salmon. It gives it a great flavor and nice crust.
