Dan Fisher, though most people just call him “Fish.” He's a professionally trained chef, a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu, and a lifelong food enthusiast who believes great flavor should never be complicated.

Fish's culinary journey began against his parents’ wishes (they wanted him to study philosophy), but he followed his passion into the kitchen instead.

After years of honing his craft, and venturing into the protein sales world, he found himself furloughed during the shutdowns of 2020, an unexpected pause that reignited his creativity. What started as a side project, soon became IT SAUCE: a collection of bold, balanced sauces he always wished existed on store shelves.

Nearly a year of testing and tweaking led to the launch of IT SAUCE'S first flavor, Criolla, in April or 2021. Since then, IT SAUCE  has become more than just a product line, it’s a reflection of Dan's love for cooking and his belief that good food brings people together.
