Jamaican Fish Recipes

I have adapted one of my jamaican fish recipes for the crockpot. If your fish are small enough to fit into the crockpot whole, then do so, if not you will have to cut them up.

2 lb (1k) fish - tilapia, snapper, basa
1 medium onion - peeled and chopped
2 tablespoon soy sauce
2 sprigs of thyme or 1 tspn dried
2 oz (50g) butter
1 tablespoon flour
oil for frying
2 tablespoon tomato puree

Set the crockpot to LOW.

Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the fish to seal - put it into the bottom of the crockpot.

Melt the butter in the same pan and fry the onion until soft then add the flour and mix to a roux.

Slowly stir in the soy sauce and cook for a couple of minutes, stirring all the time.

Stir in approx 1 pint (450ml) fish stock/water or mix of water and wine.

Add the tomato puree, thyme and season to taste.

Pour on the sauce over the fish and cook for 4 hours.

The fish you choose for this jamaican fish recipe will depend on what's available - serve it with rice and peas or maybe boiled sweet potato.

I might even add a spoon of Jerky Seasoning to it at the onion frying stage - your choice if you like it spicy.
