Roasted breadfruit and fried jackfish

St. Vincent & Grenadines · Latin America

Short description
This plate pairs a starchy roasted fruit with crisp whole fried fish, usually balanced by citrus and a small hit of pepper sauce.
Ingredients
Breadfruit is roasted until tender and served with fried jackfish, lime, garlic, hot pepper, salt, and oil.
Cultural note
Breadfruit became a staple after its spread through the Caribbean; paired with local fried fish, it is treated as a celebratory national plate and a marker of island food identity.
Common misconception
Breadfruit is not a loaf of bread; once cooked, it behaves more like a starchy vegetable.
