In the diverse world of culinary delights, there exists a group of individuals with a unique and acquired taste – fish paste enthusiasts.

Our very own Darren Maule is one of these fish paste fans. 

Those who have grown up with the distinct charm of fish paste in its various forms will be delighted to know that fish paste is finally back on South African shelves thanks to Pick 'n Pay

Pick n Pay has once again put their customers first by bringing back two iconic fish paste brands, Redro fish paste and Peck's Anchovette. This limited restock was made possible through an exclusive partnership between the retailer and Cape Gulf Brands & Premier Fishing.

While some South Africans rally together to take a stand against the fish paste injustices, Carmen isn't biting. 

Carmen shares: "Surely they are lying to us. Hellmann's Mayonnaise was gone and now it's back. I'm sure it's the same for fish paste too."
