Where to buy shito in the UK
Authentic shito can be hard to find on a supermarket shelf. Here is how to get the real thing delivered across the UK.
What to look for
Real shito is slow-cooked, dark and built on dried fish and prawns — not a quick blended hot sauce. Check the ingredients for dried fish or shrimp, and look for a maker that is registered with the Food Standards Agency (FSA).
Freshness and small-batch cooking matter. Mass-produced jars often cut the cook time and the flavour with it.
Buy direct from Freaddyfoods
Freaddyfoods makes authentic Ghanaian shito in small batches in Northampton, slow-cooked for six hours with no artificial preservatives, and FSA-approved. We ship across the UK with free delivery on orders over £30.
Choose from three heat levels — Mild, Hot and Extra Hot — in 380g jars, or grab a tasting set to try all three.
