Peck's Salmon & Lobster Tasty Spread

I used to love this stuff as a kid. Tried both the Salmon and Lobster and the devilled ham recently.... not very good... Now I know why. Sounds like the formula has changed.. I'm OUTRAGED!! ( not really ) Show details

Best left on the shelf – Loved it many years ago caught my eye on the shelf at coles so thought yea take me back in time little bottle ..bad move its not the same stuff tastes like the brown sludge from the cray guts ..not a recommend especially at the b.s. price Show details

Slop in a jar – Just watery sloppy stuff in a jar. Not a patch on what it used to be. No body, no flavour. Never again. Bring back the old recipe and jar and I will purchase again, until then never. Show details

As good as ever – I remember as an eight year old that my mum used to buy Peck's Paste products and that was over 60 years ago. I well remember the TV ads .A voice over man inSydney called Owen Ainley used to say " A little Peck's goes such a loooong way". I'm enjoying it most days for lunch on a fresh bread roll and lashings of butter. Just like when I was a kid.  Show details

They have changed it back to the way it was – Just tried some from a new batch from Woolworths and it appears to have the same consistancy and colour as it used to be. I guess the company can't win because I preferred it when it was runny Show details

Love these pastes – Love these pastes - read other reviews and don’t quite understand negativity towards change from original formula - it’s different consistency and colour but still tastes good. Show details

Why change? – When your on a good thing , stick to it !Totally agree with majority of reviews. It's watery crap now ! My father , years ago introduced me to it and I loved it ever since but the changes have had a massive impact on consumers. You may need to ask is it really worth the change for profit.???? I don't think so . Very disappointing. Bring back the original recipe andput a smile back on many consumers faces. Show details

Pecks Salmon and Lobster Paste – Pecks Salmon and Lobster Paste, which is now made in France, is definitely the most gross spread l have ever tasted. It is so Sloppy, the colour is a sickening grey colour, and next to no taste. I used to buy this paste years ago and remember it to have a pinkish colour and was a nice thick paste/spread with plenty of flavour. Why the change, l… Read more

just don’t understand. I, personally, will not be purchasing any more Pecks products again. As the old saying goes, “ If it’s not broke, then don’t fix it”. Come on Pecks, fix this problem.

Will never buy again – I used to love this paste! Would eat it straight out of the jar. But not anymore, why would I pay good money for a bottle of almost tasteless, grey watery slop? Well the answer is I won’t. If the company expect to make a profit I suggest the revert to the original recipe and once again produce a quality product. I will never purchase Pecks products again.

Not what it used too be – I used to love it but now it's just slop. You can pour it out of the jar. That is not what a paste is supposed to do. It's like water. It used to be pink in colour but it's not even that. Very disappointed will not buy it again I have tried afew times from different locations and each jar has been the same. Show details

Terrible – I’ve always love pecks as as many have said it’s changed but company doesn’t listen,it not like they are using quality ingredients and the price has gone up significantly for small jar ,so disappointing and company deleted line or gave no response,shame on you having this spread and watch profits over quality is disgusting.

Nothing but a jar of slop – As with other reviewers the paste used to have a nice pink tinge, good flavour and decent thickness for a spread. A change of recipe may have saved the company money however turned what was an enjoyable product into nothing more than a jar of grey slop. Profits before people I hear the bean counters scream out, as for me though it will stay on… Read more

the shelf of the supermarket as I spend my money on products I enjoy. I used to think products were manufactured for consumer enjoyment, obviously I was wrong.

This is crap – I used to like this flavour but you must of changed the recipe in the last couple of years cause now it looks a disgusting grey instead of the pinkish tinge it used to have and the taste is awful, go back to the original recipe, and the shop i got it from only has the tiny bottle which is ridiculously expensive. Show details

What happened to it? – Used to love this. Had a larger jar a year or so ago. Sloppy a d awful. Tried it again this week in a smaller jar. Still the same. Slop. Never again. Just horrible. So sad it's left us. The company will go bust..... Show details

One star too many – Used to enjoy this product. Then in 2020 I bought a jar that was just disgusting - runny salty slop. I thought it was a bad batch and threw it out. I emailed the company and they said they had new suppliers etc and due to complaints they where removing it from sale and will make improvements blah blah bla. I gave it a long break and bought a jar… Read more

recently. Still horrible disgusting salt slop. They obviously don’t care about almost every review being one star and they obviously don’t care about the complaints they receive directly, otherwise they’d have fixed this long ago. If you used to like these spreads and haven’t had them in a while then either avoid or be prepared to have that fond memory replaced by what can only be described as heavily salted cat barf. Will NEVER buy again.

Pecks paste – I bought 2 jars of the Anchovette paste and it is very watery has no taste, I noticed it is now made in France and I had a older jar in the pantry and it was made in Australia and wasn't watery and actually tastes better, won't be buying it again Show details

Very sloppy – I came looking for a website to complain about the jar that I have just finished. Very disappointed with how watery and sloppy it was, I could nearly pour it out of the jar. Won't bother with this product again. Show details

Used to be pink in colour – Colour now brown very sloppy taste is not like it was when it was pink. Will not buy again it has a after taste gritty texture and not what I remember.  Show details

What happened?? – So terrible I thought I purchased a bad batch. Bought another one. Same revolting mess inside! Oily, runny and stinks. oh, and it's GREY. They changed the anchovette recipe too, idots - no one will buy this product anymore.  Show details

Its gone from a paste to runny goop – What havè they done to it? I have thrown out 2 jars thinking it was off, had been useing it for years, is now a pouring consistency yuk, wont be buying again. Show details

Disgusting – Have been buying Pecks Paste for 50 odd years, about six months ago purchased a couple of the small jars and opened and it looked awful and was of a pouring consistency , opened the second and was the same,tossed them both out thinking it was a bad batch!!!! Foot note: I always refrigerate for a few days before I open !! Purchased again a few… Read more

weeks later and the exact same, tossed out again and didn’t want to ever buy Pecks again. In Coles today and thought it must be fixed by now,NO still the sloppy smelly awful looking mixture,Yuk Yuk Yuk !!! NEVER AGAIN Mr Pecks

What have you done Pecks? – I cannot believe this 'paste' has passed factory quality control. Did you think consumers wouldn't notice? It's watery, smelly & just awful. I used to love this product & Anchovette but no more.

Agree with pecks bad review – I couldn’t work out if I had a bad batch then after a few months tried again still the same. Terrible oily, rancid smell and unpalatable. I can’t believe Woolworths still stock it. Surely their stock control must indicate it is not selling. Just look at how many people here think it has changed for the worse  Show details

Sloppy Paste – I had a hankering for this paste after not purchasing it for a number of years and was I in for a shock when I I opened the jar today..... goodness me, oily and sloppy and looked a dreadful colour... Did I perhaps just buy from a bad batch???? Show details

its changed for the worse – have bought and enjoyed for years its now sloppy and oily not the spread i have bought and enjoyed for years Makes sandwiches soggy and toast it drips through so not practical to make for school lunches please change back to the original recipe  Show details

Awful – Disappointed with the product. Loved it for many years. Bought a bottle recently and it was awful. Runny and taste terrible! Threw the bottle out instantly after a teaspoonful. Never buying it again. The thought of it makes me gag!  Show details
