Where to buy shito in the UK
Authentic Ghanaian shito sauce can be hard to find on a supermarket shelf. Here is how to get real black pepper chilli sauce 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 ingredients for dried fish or shrimp, and look for a UK 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.
