About The Spicy Shark

After growing up working in the restaurant business, and then 17 years in the beer industry, Founder Shark Gabe was ready for a change. He figured if he could take his two biggest passions, spicy food, and sharks, and turn that into a career, it would be a pretty fun life. With some family recipes and help from his family and friends, he took the summer of 2018 to put together the blueprints for The Spicy Shark. We are makers of Craft Hot Sauce, Wing Sauce, Sriracha, Hot Honey, and Hot Maple Syrups, based in Portsmouth NH. Our products are fiercely unique and flavorful. We have a wide variety of styles and heat levels based on our 5-Fin Heat Scale, ranging from Mild to Wicked Hot (and then the extreme heat 6-Fin Series). Our products are all-natural, gluten-free, and dairy-free, with no artificial preservatives or additives. We have won 11 Scovie Awards (the “Oscars” of Hot Sauce), including Best in Show for 2020. We are scuba divers and very passionate about shark and ocean conservation, hence the brand name. We work with, and donate to, non-profits that share our passion of shark conservation. Sharks love hot sauce.Read their story
