His favorite food was fish and in particular smoked fish, he built a number of fish smokers and tried to perfect the art of creating fantastic smoked fish. His native American friends would drop off fish for Pepper to smoke for them in exchange for some of the finished product. Pepper would say the fish most people would not keep were the best to smoke, bluefish and Pickerel were a couple of his favorites. (we have bluefish smoked on the menu at Pepper's)
