Notes about this recipe

  • Eat Your Books

    The book's "Mom's hot pepper sauce" and "All-day seasoning blend" called for in this recipe can be made in advance. Can substitute whole red snapper for tilapia, other neutral oil for peanut oil, and store-bought Scotch bonnet hot sauce for this recipe's home-made version. See recipe for variations.

    I substituted Tabasco for Scotch bonnet hot sauce and opted to grill the fish, as suggested in the note. Marinated the fish 30 min at room temp. Unfortunately, the fish stuck to the grill like crazy; next time I would coat the fish in oil, which in my experience prevents sticking better than just oiling the grill grates. Even with the brief marinade, the fish was fairly flavorful. Green shito was great with it.
