😅 By the way, I meant to say “Fresh” ackee not “Real” ackee! Canned ackee is still real, guys! My bad! Love you all! Hope you enjoy this video! -Sash 🙏🏾✨💕

THANK YOU DEDDYS. KITCH. AND SASH

[@pwilk4811]

Deddy, I now live in NY, but grew up in Jamaica until i was 18yrs old. My granny in the country (Trelawny) use to add a bit of corned pork and sussumber berries to her Ackee and saltfish, it has been over 30 years but I can still taste her cooking.. Thank you🤘💕🙏🇯🇲🍍🥥🍈peace love always. Your family is awesome...love your channe.l

[@H.R.H-Amina_Bin_Shafiq-SHAKTI]

Is there a place where we can get jamaican scallion and scotch bonnet seeds?

[@krisiglehart3061]

Deddy should not use metal utensils in non-stick pans, it scars them making them not non-stick anylonger. He should use wooden utensils. Just sayin.

[@PlainclothesD]

How can this man have any dislikes?-his attitude towards life and cooking is wonderful 🙌🏾

[@cappyjones]

I think the dislikes are for the daughter. She does the most, talks too much and doesn't understand that Deddy is the star of this channel, not her. 😩

[@studiorose11]

probably other Jamaicans who think he didn’t do something the way they do when they cook it lol

[@tracy-anneokusi3324]

I agree with Studiorose. I've never seen salt fish and ackee boiled together.For some Jamaicans this is 'blasphemy!' 😆. It's all in the appearance and taste for me & I don't like to see the ackee too mash up 🙂

[@melandy1724]

@@cappyjones I disagree. I love the family affair. Don’t particularly like how he did this recipe but you can’t help but love this family . So sweet!

[@relisbetrel]

@@cappyjones I was thinking the same. He did an awesome job but less commentary would have been nice.

[@anthonysherman2134]

If you're using ackee in the can, I prefer just adding it directly to the saute pan. Boiling it makes it mushy. I think ackee and saltfish is better when the ackees can maintain more of their shape and integrity and not break down so much into tiny pieces. Interestingly enough, I prefer the saltfish to be in small pieces. Deddy, it still looked delicious!

[@ashleejchoi6847]

Ackee is not fully cooked when canned. Just boiled for few minutes without interrupting the ackee ro avoid been mushy and dont over boil

[@anthonysherman2134]

@@ashleejchoi6847 We put the ackee in a strainer and pour hot water over it, then toss it in the pan.

[@shestudios]

@@anthonysherman2134 Yes. Then you can flake the salt fish. His looks delightful though.

[@majmellonjohnstone5758]

Anthony Sherman I agree

[@Daggadread]

The less you stir the ackee the more it keeps it's shape.

[@teamiphone4]

When he’s cutting up those veggies it was so refreshing. I love that part. They were so fresh looking and nice.

[@solanasimon9882]

Suggestion: keep a kettle of water on stove to replace water from salt fish. The use of cold water while cooking hardens the fish, and takes a longer time. I remember his wife cooking with hot water on hand to add to cooking pot.

[@michelebradley7813]

Your Mom is a BLESSED woman! 🙏🏽 Daddy can COOK & seems to enjoy it immensely. Everything always looks scrumptious 😋

I'm half Neapolitan so was raised on Italian/English cuisine. My Jamaican bestie introduced my to Ackee & Saltfish many years ago & it has become my all time best food to eat ever since.

[@Binga7686]

Every Jamaican makes Ackee differently but in the end this is our favorite

[@veejennings5449]

Best Believe That.

[@cynthiajones1558]

I grew up in NYC and was blessed to eat the foods and dishes of my neighbors and friends from around the world. The foods from the Caribbean, Latin America, South America and various countries in Africa made the most impressions on me. It's beautiful to see so many home cooks sharing their techniques, recipes and food. I love Deddy and Sasha! I am definitely going to try his recipes!

[@gbanks6924]

I grew up in the Bronx. The melting pot of foods out in NY is unmatched and I’ve been all over the globe. It’s like a world within the world. Miss it everyday just off the food alone

[@jeanninequarles2620]

Me too. I am from Brooklyn and I can remember having a Jamaican friend at around age 7 and her mother made a dish and it had spinner dumpling.I kept telling my mother I want the dumpling the Jamaican lady made.She kept making busquick dumpling(disgusting).It would be years later while ordering Jamaican food and asking and finding out what dumpling it was.And eventually learning to make my own from a friend.

[@maxinebaker4298]

Hi Deddy when you fry the plantains put a piece of paper towel on the plate and it will soak up the excess oil from the plantains, love ur cooking and you're cooking one of my Jamaican favorite dishes. Bwoy this man can cook, will you pleased go and open your restaurant u would do a good job sales on top of sales. Blessings

This video melts my heart. Made me feel like I was in the kitchen with my grandmother! 💚💛🖤 Thanks so much for sharing! One day I'll attempt to make the ackee & salt fish on my own; Grandma still makes it for me, even at 33. (spoiled first grandchild 😜🥰)

Thank you for the plantain slicing technique. Jamaican eat & cooking is new to me. So I’m picking up pointers from Chef Deddy 🙏🏽🤗. Thank you once again

[@SweetpeaSweetpea]

You can also drain the water off the ackee, pour boiling water over it..instead of boiling it in the pot.

[@Binga7686]

I drain mine and just simmer with the fish for 5 minites

[@lamour35]

Wow once again another great show . I get sad when deddys finished cooking . Cause the show is over . And the way he cut the vegetables. Outstanding I’m the biggest fan of ? You and deddy . Lord O Mercy 😊

Ive been meaning to make this for so long (partner has mentioned his love for it for 17 years LOL) , finally got around to making it - absolutely nailed it for him, bought back many childhood memories (of Jamaica and London). I loved it too, just have to find somewhere that I can buy ackee that is not so expensive (in Australia). I wonder if you could use normal fish instead of saltfish given that you need to boil the saltfish three times to remove the excess salt? I will definitely be making this. Thanks for all the amazing recipes and tips.

[@annfernandes9469]

I love da da and mommy kitchen, I’ve never seen anyone throw the Ackee in with the boiling cod fish that was new to me I don’t think I would do it that way I would just rinse off my ackee and add it to my cod fish and veggies. But I always enjoy your cooking and personality👍🏾👍🏾💯
