Description
Ackee and Saltfish is Jamaica's iconic national breakfast dish. Salt cod is soaked, flaked, and sautéed with buttery ackee fruit, onions, Scotch bonnet peppers, bell peppers, tomatoes, and herbs. Resembling creamy scrambled eggs in texture but boasting a unique savory flavor, it is traditionally served with fried plantains, boiled green bananas, dumplings, or breadfruit.
A Taste of History
Brought to Jamaica from West Africa in the 18th century, ackee paired with imported salted cod became the island signature breakfast.
