Product Description

Chef Buck Naked Reef Rub is a fantastic all purpose seasoning! Made by a local Key Largo Chef, this spice elevates seafood, fish, poultry, meats, game, soups, sauces, marinades, and veggies!

This rub isn’t hot at all, but here at Peppers of Key West, we like to mix it up and support our neighbors whenever possible. And of course, you can always use one of our vast collection of hot sauces to pep up whatever you’re making post-cooking.

Chef Buck Naked Reef Rub has a pretty bodacious mix of flavors and spices to help you rock your next meal. Sugar, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, coriander, rosemary, marjoram, ginger, dill, celery seed, powdered vinegar, and lemon flavor- it’s all in there, pre-mixed, so all you have to do is shake and rub.

At Peppers of Key West, I love to keep these sort of spice mixes around my kitchen. Somehow, it just doesn’t seem to come together when I mix spices myself, even if I use the exact same ones that are on the packaging. I like how Chef Buck Naked Reef Rub keeps it simple. We like simple at Peppers of Key West.

Chef Buck Naked’s name was possibly inspired by the lack of nude beaches here in Key West. Yes, it’s unfortunately against the law to sunbathe naked- at least on the public beaches. There are several private hotels, however, that allow nude swimming at their pools. I can sympathize with the captain- I mean, why can’t we show a little skin? Or at least, be able to look at others skin!

Until there’s a nude beach here in Key West, Chef Buck Naked Reef Rub may be the next best thing. We may not know why this is called a reef rub, but who cares? It makes your life easy and it makes your food explode with flavor. And that’s good enough for me!
