Steamed fish is a very popular Jamaican seafood dish. Although the term ‘steamed’ is used, the style of cooking consists of poaching the fish directly in a soup base instead of placing the fish on a steaming rack. The pot is lined with aromatics and vegetables with a soup base or liquid. The fish is then placed on top of the vegetables and allowed to cook in the pot, covered with a lid. The bed of aromatics and vegetables not only prevent the fish from sticking to the pan while cooking but it also gives the fish aroma and flavor. Okra is the most commonly utilized vegetable in Jamaican steamed fish. The dish is also spicy, as the locals use scotch bonnet peppers. This healthy fish dish is a complete meal on its own but you can also serve it with crackers, biscuits or rice.
