Brown Stew Fish
Jamaican red snapper browned and simmered in an aromatic gravy.
About Brown Stew Fish
Imma Adamu’s Jamaican brown stewed fish follows the yard-style pattern she describes: seasoned fish browned before simmering in gravy. This profile selects her red snapper, fish-bouillon and chicken-broth choices.
Ginger, garlic, thyme and allspice season the fish and sauce. Brown sugar, ketchup and browning sauce bring sweetness and a deep brown finish, with hot sauce and Scotch bonnet supplying chilli heat.
The fish remains in pieces under a lightly thickened gravy with sliced bell peppers. Plain rice makes a simple accompaniment for the sauce.
