I made this dish for my Jamaican grandmother and she loved it! She said it was the best ackee and saltfish she'd ever had.

I'm allergic to bell peppers, so I omitted them from the recipe. The dish was still delicious.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my ackee and saltfish turned out really bland. I think I might have added too much water.

This dish was a disappointment. The ackee was mushy and the saltfish was too salty.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth the effort. The ackee and saltfish are perfectly cooked and the sauce is flavorful.

I'm not a big fan of ackee, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The saltfish and tomatoes helped to balance out the flavor.

The ackee and saltfish was delicious, but I found the sauce to be a bit bland. I added some additional spices and it was much better.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to adjust it by using less Scotch bonnet pepper. Overall, it was a good recipe.
