At Fat Tomato, our Bloody Mary Salt was born from a single unforgettable drink in New York City. Years ago in Chelsea Market, Anthony ordered what became one of the best Bloody Marys of his life. The glass came rimmed with a salty–tomatoey–herby–citrusy zing that was so addictive he stayed for another… and another. When he returned home, he set out to recreate that magic, and ended up creating a seasoning that now goes far beyond the cocktail glass.
What began as the perfect salt for a Bloody Mary has become a staple in our kitchen. This bright, savoury, aromatic mix is incredible on roast potatoes and vegetables, chicken, shellfish, and meaty white fish. Add it to salad dressings, dust it over grilled corn or charred greens, or sprinkle onto hot popcorn for the best movie-night snack. It brings instant depth and a burst of salty, umami-rich flavour to everything it touches.
The salt has evolved over time, drawing on ingredients from the garden and the coast. We use a combination of Achill Island sea salt and Wexford sea salt, giving the mix both mineral brightness and a satisfying crunch. Foraged dillisk seaweed adds a subtle maritime savouriness, while wild alexender seeds, lovage, and our own heritage tomatoes bring herbal warmth and natural umami.
Anthony’s well-known love of salt - he collects them from Ireland and all over the world - has shaped this blend into something truly special. The result is a uniquely Irish seasoning with worldwide inspiration: vibrant, versatile, and packed with flavour.
Presented in a 40g glass-cork jar, wrapped in illustrated paper that tells the Wexford and Irish food story, and packaged in our signature black box.
