Bahamian Boiled Fish image

Boiled make it sound awful (& is really a misnomer as the fish is simmered gently until just done) but it is unbelievably delicious & soul satisfying. Located in the Miami Herald who adapted it from Culinaria The Caribbean by Rosemary Parkinson, (Konemann, 1999). The Miami herald article said: "Bahamian people know there is nothing like a good fish broth or soup to give you strength for the day ahead. Any white fish can be used but grouper is preferred (see source). Serve with grits and cornbread." If you can locate fish peppers to use in this dish, they are wonderful.

This dish was easy to make and very flavorful. I used tilapia fillets, and they cooked perfectly in the sauce. I served it with rice and beans, and it was a delicious and satisfying meal.
