Oh Glorious Fish!
For the love of the Coconut!
Steamed fish is not uncommon in Jamaica. As a matter of fact if you ever have a cookout and not have either steamed fish or roast fish your event just got tanked!
There are many ways to prepare steamed fish. And this is what I love about this dish.
So what do we need to make this simple yet delicious meal? Creativity. Yup you read that right. There is no specific rule(s)to follow when cooking steamed fish. You can add just about any ingredients... well not really let’s just keep the additives to vegetables
For my steamed fish I used the following ingredients:
2 Medium Red Snapper
1 can unsweetened coconut milk
1 Stalk scallion
1 green pepper
1tsp Maggie Fish season
Olive oil
Vegetables of your choice
I really enjoy making my steam fish with vegetables. So I added pumpkin, okra and carrots as well as some water crackers.
Having prepped my fish and seasoned with fish seasoning. I heated the skillet and popped some cumming seed in to add flavor. The olive oil, fish and vegetables is then added and steamed at low heat. After about 15 minutes, the coconut milk is added. Cook for another 20 minutes on medium heat the crackers is the last to be added as they often soak up the liquid very quickly.
The coconut complemented the fish really nice. So the next time you think of making some steamed fish. Why not be creative with your base
Looks unbelievably delicious, thanks for sharing!
Thanks it was also very filling. I didn’t need a complementary carb. A great one pot for a lazy cook

Hello @thehealthyfoodie, great to see you posting. We have fish a lot, usually fried, but this looks like a really delicious alternative and coconut is one of my favourite tastes. I'm interested about the use of crackers in cooking, I guess its similar to using bread or flatbreads in European cooking?
Hi @shanibeer the texture of the crackers is really solid. Back home we call it “tough crackers” because of it’s texture. Hence when we add it to this dish it does not disappear but rather soaks up some of the liquid while maintaining a very nice texture.
