Matured for 3 years in barriques, raw, gluten-free, handmade in Berlin

Our pike garum is a fish sauce made from what is likely Germany's most popular angler's fish, along with local buckwheat and lupins.

We got the pike as cuts from the two-star restaurant facil in Berlin. This idea was initiated by head chef Joachim Gerner . At the beginning, the garum is reminiscent of a combination of shrimp and parmesan, while in the finish it reveals subtle nuances of stockfish and is balanced by a fine acidity. The pike gives our garum its delicate, mild, spicy aroma, which is complemented by the nutty taste of the buckwheat. We only get 70L of garum out of a full 225L barrique, that's how concentrated this sauce is. Every drop of our pike garum fills the palate with a lively flavor and long-lasting umami.

how to use

The Pike garum develops an intense flavor even in very small quantities. A few drops are enough to give your risotto, rice dishes, pasta dishes and couscous a highlight. The Pike garum is a perfect addition to clear soups and fish ramen to enhance these dishes with umami notes and intensify their flavors. It is even excellent in dressings in salads where you would otherwise use parmesan, anchovies or other umami components.
