Raw, unheated honey with the distinctive dark, slightly salty character that mangrove flowers give. Never give honey to a child under one year old.
Nutritional values are approximate, per 100 g raw edible portion, and vary with size and season. This is general information, not medical or dietary advice.
Straight from the jar, over porridge, in tea, or as a glaze on grilled fish — the salt note works remarkably well with seafood.
Goes well with: Porridge, tea, grilled fish, cheese
Every order is cleaned to your preference — scaled, gutted, filleted, cut into steaks or left whole. Choose at checkout.
Store in a sealed container in a cool, dry, dark place. No refrigeration needed.
Keeps: 6–12 months sealed and dry
Every fish is looked over by hand before it is packed. These are the four things we check, and they are the same four you should check when it reaches you.
Then it is packed. On ice, in a sealed EPS cooler that holds cold for up to 72 hours. Mombasa goes the same day by rider; everywhere else travels by express courier or bus.
Do these four checks yourself when it arrives. If any of them fails, send one photograph within 24 hours and we replace the item or refund it — we never ask you to send fish back. Read the guarantee.
Because the bees forage mangrove blossom, which gives a darker, richer honey with a faint salt-marsh note you will not find in an inland honey.
Yes — it gives coastal communities an income that depends on the forest staying standing rather than being cut for timber or charcoal.
Raw honey often does. Stand the jar in warm water to bring it back — never microwave it.
