I added Jamaica on my bucket list because of your channel. I feel like your demeanor fits international standards but you still embrace all of who you especially your home country 👌

[@jonellebolton8425]

This is such a nice comment, from another fellow Jamaican ❤️

[@divinegangsta3692]

A++++++ content! There are many girls out there with simmilar aesthetic persuasions like you, but what makes you unique is your cultural essence. Definately incorporate more of your roots in your everyday content. The authenticity and EDGE would be unmatched and would expand and intesify your media impact. Also, the vibe of Soho is cool, but I would love to see you incorporate your personal style against the backdrop of other ecletic boroughs like Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and other parts of NY NY and manhatten, where the culture is more rich and more diverse. It would actually help your style to stand out more and grow in even more complexity. You're beautiful, classic and mad talented. Its only natural that you would thrive by venturing into more multi-farious spaces. An example of this is the great artistic direction you took for this video. Use this great city to your advantage. Nobody else in your niche content is really doing that. You would be on these girls necks!! Consider it.

[@muta_othernames]

100% Divine Gangsta 😉

[@KendraRN]

The way you gave constructive feedback is unmatched. Clearly you’re an amazing human for sharing your perspectives in a gentle manner. The world needs more people like you. Octavia, this video was long overdue.

[@OctaviaB]

Love love love this comment & I will definitely take this into strong consideration. Also, the SOHO comment made my chuckle a bit & I get it BUT - I live in NJ so I already cross one bridge and to have to cross yet another bridge to go the Brooklyn, Bronx & Queens is quite a trek which is why I stay in Manhattan ( soho to be exact) as it’s located just outside the tunnel. It’s a matter of convenience really & not so much for an aesthetic you know. But I should make more of an effort 🤍

[@KendraRN]

@@OctaviaB Tay, I see a cookbook in the near future. Sky is the limit girl. A Caribbean cookbook with simple recipes. Go for it! ❤️

[@divinegangsta3692]

​@@OctaviaB ❤️❤️❤️🌟 You know, that extra trip across the bridge is worth it- not even for us viewers, but for you babe. I mean that on a spiritual level. But I definitely understand the convenience factor and I should have worded that spiel about Soho better. I know it's not just for the aesthetics (but they are so fine girl!). I guess what's at the heart of this conversation is that you had a special GLOW in this video, a big factor being the venture into a different artistic direction, while remaining true to yourself. Physically venturing out would replicate and even transcend the heart-warming magic of this video. Feel me? I hope that delivered the message better. We love to see it Octavia!❤️🌟

[@andreabrooks4569]

Octavia, my Jamaican girl!! Mi love mi fish soup and yes spinners for sure!! Your soup look so good, I’m making some tomorrow. Thank you for the inspiration. I love watching you cook, do it more often please! Have a great weekend 🇯🇲

[@Nickiyah]

We call it fish broth in Trinidad and Tobago. Usually add macaroni, ochros and lots of fresh seasonings. Yum 🤤 Boil fi d back 😆😆

[@solangegarcia536]

Thought the same thing😅. I was like this is fish broth; fish bruff if you're serious 🤭😅

[@OctaviaB]

We call it fish Tea in Jamaica actually but I just said soup

[@jenniferboldeau9313]

Same in Grenada. Lots of fresh seasoning. The dumplings go in last. Just before the fish.

[@Nickiyah]

@@jenniferboldeau9313 yes girl!

[@sararichardson737]

My Moms fish soup was the best! I used to make it but haven’t in years so thanks for reminding me, from a Grenada gyal ! She used yam never pumpkin though !

[@pleshettebeckford7342]

Missing corn 🌽... looks good still.

[@sweetlyketoffee]

Yummy 😋

[@eilaoketch7078]

Great content💗💗💗 Octavia that's a lot of skin you've taken from the potatoes😅😅😅😅

[@kalinapopova8710]

First time seeing banana in a soup, but it looks so yummy

[@madamnaija1117]

It’s plantain. Banana’s Granpa

[@jusyauk8399]

It’s actually green banana. Banana before it ripens. 🇯🇲 we use it in soup and cook on the side of ackee & saltfish for breakfast. We like our plaintain ripe 😁

[@madamnaija1117]

My bad. It looked like a plantain to me🤣🤣🤣. See where my ITK ( I too know ) has landed me? We normally use unripe plantains in soup recipes in Nigeria.

[@madamnaija1117]

Me too. You clearly saw a banana after all

[@kalinapopova8710]

Oh, nice. Enriching my food culture. Thank you ❣️

[@donovandyer8779]

Sorry Octavia: we call it “ fish tea,” not fish soup in Jamaica. Fish soup doesn’t sound nor feel right. Please call it by its name “ fish tea!

[@seicoothomas]

Come thru tavia with the fish soup 🍲

[@saidahjamila]

what kind of fish is that?

[@FubuDon]

Nice pot

[@jhenely3836]

Great nails…Quick tip, take the rings off before cooking. They’ll stay in better shape.

[@herlandothomas625]

You are so cute babyluv 😉

[@nevillegrant2727]

You're very beautiful and fun to watch and listen to.

[@Nathanhiggerz]

Too much talk to begin

[@thefriendlypsychopath3894]

Do you have a green card?

[@valrr__]

I love how your Jamaican accent came out a few times. Please do more videos like this!

[@OctaviaB]

Thanks for watching ✨

[@jamdawgutube]

She was speaking with a Jamaican accent 80% of the time. 10% incorporated American pronunciations. The other 10% is Jamaican patois (not accent).

[@bunmiolo1619]

I just made this recipe (almost) exactly as you did and it SLAPS!!! I went back for 2nds and 3rds and my family's like: "didn't you say you made this for ALL of us??!" 😂😂😂 Thank you, Octavia!! :)

[@Amoi__]

This is the most aesthetic fish tea prep I've ever seen. Love it 😊

[@OctaviaB]

Aww thank you

[@ShaniceOakley]

I really enjoyed this. Felt the Caribbean connection. Please do more of these 🥹

You really do not know what to do with a knife stuck😩😳🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@missc541]

You should remove your rings when needing dumplings. The patois sounds so funny/strange with an American accent. 😂
