This dish known in the Caribbean as Buljol is one of the best snacks, either for breakfast or in an evening as a late supper. Its light and healthy and is show above with a Caribbean speciality sometimes called bakes sometimes called floats. In Mexico it might be called avocado salsa salad without tomatillos as they usually serve it with these hard to find green fruits. We show it with bakes but it can be served with crackers, toast or even fresh baguette. This is a world class dish, worthy of a Michelin star restaurant.

Bakes Fried bakes are made with flour, salt, baking powder and water much like a roti. Let the softish mixture sit for 1 hour and then tear off egg sized pieces and flatten and deep fry in about 1/2 inch or more hot oil. Spoon hot oil over the flattened bake to make it puff up. Fry until lightly brown and put in a tissue lined bowl to drain.

Since arriving in the Uk we have always made crab curry and dumplings (a Tobago speciality) with brown crabs. But now we have discovered velvet swimmer crabs a good alternative if you can get them. They are inexpensive and eco friendly (apparently they breed rapidly and the ocean is full of them). But for us the big thing is how sweet they are and how easy to get the flesh out by biting through the legs and claws. Brown crabs have hard shells so you need to crack the claws with a pliers or rolling pin before cooking otherwise your guests cannot get all the goodness inside.
8 live spinner crabs made enough for 4 people and at £5 for 8 that’s an economical meal. If you use Brown then you will need one each about £10. Curry crab and dumplings is one of the worlds great dishes. It will rarely be served in restaurants as eating it is so messy but half the fun.
In the USA lobster country Massachusetts and North the restaurants are prepared the staff give you huge bibs and bowls of water to wash your fingers, but the UK just isn’t there at all.
Its important to use uncooked crabs. We get all our shellfish from The Berwick Shellfish company LINK TO WEBSITE
As you can see in the photo these crabs make a lovely meal which goes so well with the bland wholesomeness of simple dumplings made with plain four salt sugar and water.
Caribbean Curry Crab Recipe (for 4)
This meal is a must if you visit Tobago. In Trinidad they use land crabs, sold at the roadside by small boys on long poles about 6-8 to a bunch. In the UK we use medium brown crabs or swimmer crabs. It is essential they are live crabs, hard to get in the UK unless you know a fisherman.
This goes well with our scotch bonnet hot sauce. Buy that by clicking below
Tackle this dish once and you will have it again and again. Its that first time "oh what to do with a live crab" that stands in the way of an awesome tasty dish
4mediumlive crabs Its not nice to kill crab, we put ours in freezer for about an 30/60 minutes to dull their senses. Take off the top shell with a knife and split the crabs in two and clean everything soft away until your left with two halves. Crack the large claws (called gundies in Trinidad) with a rock or pestle.

Salted Cod is a very old Scottish tradition dating back to the Vikings. There is a great company in the Shetland Isles making quality salted fish, and I urge you to try and use this truly great food. Before fridges this kind of food was a staple in Scotland and it deserves to return to the table. Shetland Salt Cod link. The Shetland company makes hard dried cod, but there are also other sources of salt cod easier to use online at Amazon. I actually prefer a softer fish that is popular in Spain and Portugal. The hard fish needs 24 hours soaking. The photo below is of one we use often
Go to France or Spain and everywhere you look is salted fish. But over here it is very difficult to find and often poor quality. The Shetland Salt Fish is top of the line and worth a try. Many people want to reduce their red meat intake but struggle to find alternatives. This keeps well in the fridge (we keep salt fish for up to 3 months), is quick and easy to prepare and tastes truly amazing. Our two sons love this healthy meal.
This salt cod recipe comes from Bermuda and is used by most families as a brunch or late breakfast on Sundays. I used to go to my old friend Eugene Harvey house where his mother cooked for about 20 children and aunts and uncles and cousins. Their house overlooked the Bermuda Sound, clear blue waters. This dish sounds odd, but the combination of flavours is stunning. When you eat this you are eating a bit of Bermuda!

A “doubles” is a special Trinidad street food made up of one (a singles) or two deep fried mini roti and a comfort food tasting, lightly curried, chickpea mixture. Of course being Trinidad that just the start. Add Ooft! Hot Sauce, add Tamarind sauce, add cucumber finely chopped and mixed with coriander and lime juice, add mango salsa, make it your own! The small fried roti is called a bara and the basic filling is called channa ( curry chickpea). Then you have the dressings.

Every morning all over Trinidad from as early at 5am the doubles vendor comes out. He has a big pot with the hot channa and an insulated box with the barra. On his table he sets out the “dressings”. Immediately queues form. He picks up two barra laying them on his hand slightly offset and then puts a big dollop of hot channa and your chosen dressings, deftly rolls it in a paper sheet and hands to you to eat right there. usually by the cart will be a cooler filled with cold soft drinks and a water dispenser to wash your hands afterwards, this is an immersive experience and an amateur will end up with channa all over his mouth and hands and a giant smile of pleasure!

Wandering around the supermarket you may have come upon the Caribbean section and seen tins of strange looking fruit called Ackee. Once opened you are looking at something that looks so much like scrambled eggs you will wonder if the right thing is in the tin. Combine this with salted cod fish usually available from supermarkets as well makes one of the worlds great breakfast dishes that heralds from Jamaica but is eaten throughout the Caribbean.
The Jamaicans have created a lovely tasty breakfast with ackee and saltfish. Ackee is a fruit from a large tree and is poisonous if eaten unripe. So its best to buy tinned ackee available from most supermarkets that carry international foods. They are expensive around £4.50 a tin but the consistency and taste cannot be duplicated.
Boil about 1/2 lb of saltfish and drain (if its the very dry saltfish you may have to soak it overnight in water). In a frying pan slow cook an onion sliced, a sweet pepper sliced and a hot pepper chopped until they go translucent and soft (about 5-10 minutes slow).
Add a tin of tomatoes and some fresh thyme and maybe a little water. I also add a teaspoon of sun dried tomato paste and a tsp of sugar. Let this mixture cook slowly until reduced and tasty, add black pepper. then add the shredded saltfish and let this cook into the mix for 5 minutes before topping off with the ackee. Once the ackee is added don’t stir much as it breaks up.
To make the dumpling take 8oz plain flour and add a tsp of salt and a tsp of sugar. Then mix with water to a soft consistency and knead for about 2 minutes. Boil; a saucepan of salted water and divide the dough into 8 pieces. Flatten with the hand or a rolling pin into saucer shapes and drop into the boiling water and cook for 15 minutes.

There are many seafood soups in the Caribbean ranging from broths to chowders and stews. This recipe is from the French Island of Martinique and I suspect was carried by early settlers from Brittany. many Martinique soups contain local ingredients such as green banana or yams but this version is a smooth soup rich in flavour. Many people are a bit scared of fish soups, you can tell that as so few are even available canned. . But go to France and eat in one of those tiny bistros near the harbour and rave about the bouillabaisse. This recipe is tried and tested and delivers a rich warm nourishing broth with a bit of heat. Serve with French bread sliced and rubbed with garlic plus some grated parmesan. The French put that in the bottom and pour soup over but you can also float it after. This makes a satisfying and elegant Caribbean fish soup that can be served as a meal or as a starter.
Scotland smokes some very tasty kippers. Our fishmonger Clarks in Musselburgh makes their own, but there are famous smokers at Craster down the Northumberland Coast and in Fife. There is a lot going for kippers, they keep well as they are smoked and can quickly be cooked to provide a nutritious meal. They are inexpensive in the UK and as an oily fish extremely nutritious. (Each ounce of kippers provide an average of 62 calories, 7 grams of protein, 3.5 grams of fat and no carbohydrate.).
Most people just grill or poach them and eat them with bread and butter. This Caribbean style known as stewing fries the fish up with sweet peppers onions, tomato and garlic and is a tasty alternative and could even be used as a party snack. The Caribbean bread know as fried bake is much like a pita bread, it has a big pocket in the middle so its easy to stuff it with delicious filling. A lot of people worry about the bones in this fish, but my father used to say if you eat it with plenty bread all will be well!
They go very well with both our pure healthy hot sauces click the link below to buy
Sliced onion and sweet pepper, slow cooked until soft with a little oil. Throw in 2 tomatoes chopped and cover to simmer down.

Open the pocket and put in the mix and add lots of Ooft! ….a scrumptious new way to eat this healthy smoked fish.
Fried Bakes (The bakes are optional as pita bread or Indian naan obtainable from most supermarkets works well, we have even used Scottish breakfast rolls. But if you want the true Caribbean experience try these)
These are very simple to make. Flour salt and water mix to a soft consistency and leave for 20 minutes to settle. Heat a pan of oil to about 160 degrees. Take pieces of dough about the size of a lime and roll out not too thin to about 3 inches. Drop in hot fat and here is the secret. using a metal spoon constantly pour hot oil from the pan over the bake as it rises in the pan until to your surprise it will puff up and then start to brown. Remove with slotted spoon into a bowl with kitchen towel to absorb the oil.

Caribbean fish stew and rice is a wonderful recipe that uses an every day stand by (tinned salmon) in a unique way, and is so delicious my sons want it served every week. It is also a 30 minute meal, i.e. the whole meal takes about 30 minutes from start to finish. Tinned salmon will suddenly assume a role of much greater importance once you have tried this delicious recipe. This dish is known in different forms throughout the Caribbean in sometimes called stewed salmon Jamaica style, or brown stew salmon. It is very healthy, you could use brown rice or couscous. Stewing in the Caribbean context means one of two styles. The first is using melted and caramelised sugar first in the pot ( a good example of this is in our recipe Trinidad Pelau SEE LINK ), the other is just cooking with onions and sweet peppers and tomatoes and of course hot sauce such as Ooft! scotch bonnet. This recipe could also be served with mashed potato or pasta.
