Jamaican Food FactsThe salt fish (also known as bacalao in Spanish cuisine)used in the national dish "Saltfish and Ackee" is usually found in Asian food markets. Generally, salt fish is cod but it can also be mackerel. Where does the fire come from in some of these spicy dishes? From scotch bonnet peppers which have some of the highest Scoville heat unit ratings. Can't find annatto to flavor your dish? Use saffron threads as a substitute.
Talk about a fusion of cuisines from various countries...which adds spice to the variety of dishes unique to Caribbean cooking.
Recipes feature local grown produce and fruits. Ingredients include coconut and coconut milk, as well beans, peas, and rice.
Some of the most popular meat dishes are stews and grilled meats, with a personal favorite being Jerk Chicken. We've tried many times to reproduce the recipe at home...without success.
It lacked the intense smoky flavor of the generous serving of grilled chicken we enjoyed in Kingston.
