Introduction/Overview

In Jamaica we have fish all the time; yup, we are an island so fish is quite the staple. Interestingly enough though I grew up in the country and did not eat that much fish, but ate more poultry and meats. When I’m with my parents though who live in the city of Kingston, I do eat a lot of fish prepared in many different forms. Some of which will be shown here at some point.

So what’s the secret to this dish? It’s the fact that you’re using fresh herbs. The seasoning is really what makes Jamaican food different from any other. I did not have any fresh thyme, so I used bottled thyme which was still quite good. So you can use bottled seasoning if you don’t grow these in your backyard.

As you’ll see in other fish dishes, just simple black pepper and salt is good enough to season fish and then fry it. Then more seasoning is added after it is fried, but that’s a whole other dish…
