You need to tell people that they have to boil the salt fish a couple of times (change to fresh water every time)to get the some of the salt out of the fish. You can tell when the ackee is done by the tenderness of the ackee.

Great instructional on the processing of using fresh ackees, thank you!! ive often imagined how wonderful fresh ackees must taste. but canned has been my only experience. 1 experience with canned ackees that weren't drained, rinsed and parboiled than drained again and i was rushed to hospital for stomach pump. im not Jamaican by birth or culture but my Gullah/Geechee culture in the usa is similar enough to know that our Ancestors had created processes to detoxify foodstuffs to keep us safe and we should pay close attention to those processes more now than ever. During my convalescence i found that ackees aren't exclusively grown in Jamaica and are being harvested, forced rippened and canned with preservatives. hypoglycin is the poison in unrippened ackees and it causes liver degeneration in people. Here in the states more people are falling in love with ackees as i already have and its brought down the pricing to I believe so even more people can enjoy and include it to a plant based diet. TRUST THE PROCESS AND YUMMY IN MY TUMMY!!!

when I make ackee from the can, I don't boil it first,... i just strain the liquid out, and add it to the other ingredients in the pot,.. and let everything cook down a little bit. The ackee is already pretty soft, coming out of the can. (i imagine that it is pre-boiled from the factory processing.) Same way,.. when I cook fresh-frozen ackee that my family brings me from Jamaica,... I don't boil it, after I thaw it out,... because it's already been pre-boiled. And yes,... you can freeze fresh ackee and cook it later. Nice video.

This is a prepared (home cooked) dish they serve/sell every Sunday to eat in or take out. Usually, it is sold with boiled green bananas, boiled dumplings and white yam. Occasionally the option of breadfruit is used. I also notice that they prepare it with chopped tomatoes. Anyway....DELISH!!!

I have a very close Jamaican female friend and we "discussed" the other day about how the saltfish should be 'chunked" (so to speak) and not shredded and if it were chunked (according to her) it was the wrong way to prepare it. I told her she hasn't the right to label it the wrong way just because she doesn't do it that way.....oh well, just living in a world with different opinions about different things. :)
