I've grown fish peppers for the past few years but this is the first year I've gotten a really good, healthy plant. It's one of my garden favorites. Not only is the plant beautiful and the peppers delicious, the story of the seed is so interesting. You can read about it here.

The Story of Fish Peppers, a Legacy of the African American Garden Fish peppers, a staple of cooking near the Chesapeake Bay, nearly went extinct. Now they're back, and every seed can be traced to Horace Pippin.
