About Bahamian Fish Stew
Cooking With Sugar shares a Bahamian stew fish made with grouper or snapper. In this fried-grouper rendition, seasoned fish is browned before joining a flour-and-oil stew with onion and thyme.
The flour is stirred in oil until brown, forming the base of the stew. Tomato paste is optional, and water supplies the cooking liquid; additional flour and water can thicken the sauce when needed.
The fish simmers in the stew before serving. Johnny cake is one of the source's suggested accompaniments, suitable for eating with the browned gravy.
