Add a photoMy saltfish dinner is paired with american sweet potato, dasheen, and sauteed Kale.
Saltfish is basic meal that is prepared in the Caribbean. In Jamaica the dish is generally paired with ackee and boiled green banana or fried bread fruit.
In Caribbean stores the fish is sold with the bones in it. you can buy deboned fillet codfish in shoprite or similar.
Also saltfish has to be soaked overnight and boiled to get rid of some of the salt or it would be inedible.
Dasheen or Dashin is sold in caribbean stores ( a starch ground root), I don't know technical name. you can use yam or potato also.
