About Fish in Creole Sauce
Taste-St. Lucia presents Creole fish as seasoned pieces finished in a tomato-and-pepper sauce. This version selects snapper and the source’s water option, retaining its Saint Lucian recipe attribution.
Malt vinegar and an unspecified spice seasoning flavour the fish. Onion, garlic, thyme, cinnamon and hot chilli season the sauce, with butter enriching its vegetable-oil base.
The flour-coated fish is first fried golden, then finishes cooking in the sauce with chopped green and red peppers. Parsley garnishes the dish, which the publisher explicitly serves hot.
