Jamaican Steamed Fish

What Type of Fish is Used to Make Jamaican Steamed Fish?

The most popular choice tends to be snapper but there’s not reason why you cannot turn this into a parrot fish recipe.

You can purchase red snapper from your fish monger. I normally buy mine in bulk because I cook fish on a constant basis. Also, you can ask your local fish monger to gut the fish for you.

To Make The Jamaican Steamed Fish Seasoning

• 1 tsp of himayalan pink salt
• 1 tsp of celery salt
• 1 tsp of black pepper
• 1 tsp of onion powder
• 1 tsp of garlic powder
• 1 tsp of paprika
• ½ tsp coriander
• 1 handful of okra
• The leaves of 4 fresh sprigs of thyme, stem discarded or ½ tsp of dried thyme

Store the leftover seasoning in a small, air tight jar or container. If you follow my blog you will most likely re-use it at some point. As long as the seasoning is stored away in a dry place, it will last for several months.

Ingredients
