Trini Stewed Fish / Caribbean Brown Stew Fish
This is a family favorite which is usually accompanied by freshly steamed jasmine rice, cou cou, boiled ground provisions or dumplings.
Made this for Easter and finally getting a chance to share it!
This hearty stew can be made with any firm flesh fish such as king fish, croaker, red snapper or halibut.
