From freshly-caught seafood to sea salt, some of the best lobster thermidor you can ever taste, via Biltong and artisan sourdough bread to hand-baked cookies and cakes Jersey has some fantastic producers selling incredible tasting products using lots of local produce in shops across the island, online and as far away as one of London’s most famous shops.

| Jersey Sea Salt | Matthew Taylor created Jersey Sea Salt an artisan salt producer using solar energy to turn local seawater into pure salt crystals. While harvesting sea salt is an ancient art dating back thousands of years Matthew is the first person to produce Jersey Sea Salt commercially in Jersey. Jersey sea salt dissolves easily for cooking, pickling or baking however it is best used as a finishing salt as it enhances flavours when added to fish, meat, poultry, and salads. Website |

| Jersey Wonderer | The Jersey Wonder recipe is a local tradition handed down through the generations, recipes can differ from family to family on the Island and are not quite the same from one side to the other. Tradition has it that housewives only cooked their wonders as the tide went out. If they cooked them on the incoming tide, the fat in which the wonders were cooked would invariably overflow the pot. The closest equivalent to the Jersey Wonder would be a doughnut, however, wonders should never be coated in sugar nor filled with jam! Facebook |
| Jersey Fudge Pot | Jersey Fudge Pot produces fudge for local eateries, corporate events, Hotel room favours and weddings as well as retail customers on the island and internationally online. Using Jersey milk, cream, and butter flavours include traditional vanilla, Jersey sea salt, Jersey lavender, and Gingerbread spice. Website |
