I need a Salt Fish Fix.

Recommended Posts

I am crazy about Salt Fish.

Italian and Portugese Bacalao, Bajan Fish Cakes, West Indian Buljol, French Brandade and Puerto Rican Bacalaitos Fritos are just a few dishes that I love to eat. I want to try something new.

So many variations, What do you like?

how about this recipe? :rolleyes: Looks terrific! Rougaille de Poisson Sale (salt fish in tomato sauce) or perhaps Bakaliaros Tighanitos me Skordalia (Batter-Fried Salt Cod with Skordalia)?

Very nice background article for folks who like to know the history of their foods, in this case, salt fish:

a pancake shaped, deep-fried cassava bread, which is aid to originate with the Arawaks Indians. Bammy is commonly served with fried fish.

The Yellowish loab meat is removed from the Ackee fruit, and lightly poached in water. At the same time you saute onions, bonny peppers, thyme and(pre-soaked)salt fish, at the end add the ackee.

Bammy is a biscuit like disk that you soak in milk and fry in a pan. It is often served with Ackee and saltfish.

Canned Ackee can be subsituted but not as good.
