How to Make Bahamian Boiled Fish
- Place the fish fillets in a non-reactive dish and pour 2 tablespoons of lime juice over them.
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine 4 cups of water, 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes (peeled and cubed), 2 tablespoons butter, and 1-2 scotch bonnet peppers (finely minced or deseeded, depending on spice preference).
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender but not mushy.
- Gently add the fish fillets along with any accumulated marinade juices. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve the fish hot, ladled over creamy grits or alongside warm cornbread. Garnish with extra fresh parsley if desired.
