I have decided to do a roundup of really great fish and seafood recipes I have developed on the blog over the years. Please share this post using the share buttons below! If you have been following for years, you may recognize some of these and if you are among the new, welcome to our table. We Jamaicans are very hospitable people and we love good food and good conversations. We really honour the bounty of the land and spend time creating dishes full of flavour and love. Our mission is “Serving you the good life!”
As island people, we LOVE seafood- for obvious reasons- after all we are surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. Though we use lots of fresh seafood, we also use salt cured and smoke cured seafood as well especially during regular weekday meals. It is my hope that you will be able to recreate the essence of Jamaican hospitality and taste with these dishes, bringing new flavours into your own home like a sweet, fresh, salty gust of Caribbean sea breeze. Remember to subscribe to the blog for more recipes and to keep up to date. Find and follow me on Facebook, Instagram Pinterestand YouTube as well. Now here are some of the most popular and best Jamaican seafood recipes…

It’s so heartwarming to hear of people’s great experiences in my home country. Yes surprise your wife one evening with a lovely Jamaican meal.
I used to work with a guy from Jamaica. He would be in the most interesting food for lunch. What a great collection here.
That’s really funny. Interesting is not really a good thing when it comes to a adjective but hey… lol

What a delicious meal! I love Jamaican flavors, I like to say it gives food bold personality. Thanks for this beautiful collection of recipes.
I’m not familiar with any of these recipes, never having been to Jamaica myself, so I find them all intriguing. Especially the salt fish, which I’ve never seen before. Everything here looks like it’s incredibly flavorful too!
Unique and best too. Love the flavors. Surely delicious and amazing sea food.
I haven’t tried nearly as much Jamaican food as I probably should have, but this list covers absolutely everything! I love that it’s a unique list of foods that I wouldn’t normally try!
That’s quite a round up! The only one I recognize is the ackee and salt fish. I’m a Newfoundlander and did you know that the Newfoundlanders have quite a history with Jamaica? We used to trade our salt cod to Jamaica in exchange for their rum! Of course, that was quite a long time ago.
I pinned a bunch of these recipes because they sound delicious and unique! I have not traveled to Jamaica, but the food options sound wonderful!
I love this collection of recipes. Here in Italy we also eat a lot of seafood including salt cured fish. I don’t know Jamaican cuisine at all but I really enjoy trying recipes from other countries! That salt fish salad looks good!
These recipes looks so delicious! The fish stew looks amazing! Yum!
What a wonderful collection of seafood! I have never been to Jamaica but the foods sound amazing to me. Love it.
