Fish Broth/Broff | Fish Soup | Taste of Trini

Fish Broth , called "Broff" in Trinidad and Tobago, is one of those Trinbagonian dishes that is a favourite at any lime (a gathering), especially where alcohol is involved. This is a popular soup among men and it is typically made after a night of drinking. My brother makes a mean Broff and I figured I had to share this recipe with my KZbin family.
Here's what you'll need:
2 pounds of Red Snapper, washed with limes (OR any fish of your preference)
2 cups of pumpkin, cubed
1/2 cup of green seasoning
1/4 cup of celery leaves, chopped
1/4 cup of scallion/green onion (called chive in Trinbago), chopped
1/4 cup of shadon beni/bandhania,/culantro/recao, chopped
1/2 cup of chinese celery leaves and stalks, chopped
2 hot peppers (either whole or sliced)
8-10 pimento peppers
1 onion, diced
8-10 young ochroes or okras
1 large carrot, sliced
1 packet of Grace Fish Tea Soup OR Maggi Vegetable Soup Mix
Some macaroni pasta (OR your preference)
2 large potatoes, cut into big chunks
3-5 green figs/bananas (cooking bananas), cut into halves
1 tablespoon oil
2 tablespoons ketchup
1-2 tablespoons salt (to your preference)
1 tablespoon of golden ray butter (this is a bit salty so add this before adding extra salt)
black pepper

The MOST important thing here guys is to add the FISH very close to the END of the cooking process, fish cooks fast also it will dissolve in the liquid if cooked for too long..

[@caribbeanparadise1315]

I made this about 1 Yr ago and it came out really good ...it was also my first time ever making broth. I'm going to make this again ...thank you

[@kavitaramgobindurgadeen1265]

[@sxceve25]

making my fish broth today. .💯👌

[@pearlsherriesamuel1242]

Looks great...what was so funny is that I had the same experience cutting hot pimentos..my hands were on fire and I tried every trick in the book to cool them down (ice, lime, sugar, milk etc)..I eventually took 2 valium tablets and slept it off...never me again!!

[@TasteofTrini]

Pearl Sherrie Samuel Damn, I thought I was the only one. Yes, I am very careful with pimentos now, I tried scrubbing my hands with Ajax, sugar, milk, coconut oil and nothing worked.

[@veshmahlalwah334]

Pearl Sherrie Samuel hi there if you pass your burning hands over heat like steam from when a pot is boiling it burns a lil more while over the heat but the burning stops faster. permintos are very hot in trini right now my kids are complaining too much spicy food lol.

[@pearlsherriesamuel1242]

Thanks...but no need as I check every pimento now before using...lol

[@veshmahlalwah334]

Its cool just incase someone reading needs some help! After using peppers your hand kindof gets used to it but that first burn you never forget lol.

[@janellegoodridge381]

Hi I love all your Vedio really nice👍

[@veshmahlalwah334]

this video was amazing. I have to say you up your game explanation was very well done tips thumbs up . one thing to work on is when adding ingredients to the pot may the angle could be a little different so that your hand doesnt block our view but getting better.

[@TasteofTrini]

Veshmah Lalwah Thank you...I will try my best to improve but I have very little space to work with. Sorry about that

[@veshmahlalwah334]

[@kerrysammy3277]

Please mention that it is young green fig/bananas. Full bananas do not work.

[@Marismryan27]

Kerry Sammy Hey Thanks:) I’m listening, watching closely a few videos seeing bananas thinking “what FIGS?”

[@kerrysammy3277]

Hi Taste of Trini. How about introducing the 'chow'. The ultimate uncooked Habanero heaven way of socializing. Move over 'hors d'oeuvre ', Wash fingers Please! Before and after!

[@lystrarichardson737]

Looks delicious 😋

[@sandy-k1n]

Yummo!👍😙

[@TasteofTrini]

sandra kitwana It was ☺☺

[@kerrysammy3277]

Used to be also referred to as a "braff". This pronunciation threw me off big time when growing up. Apparently due to harsh pronunciation of the 'o' in broth by fishermen from the islands and Guyana.

[@septemberdarling1264]

yess thats how i like my food to. sreaming hot.

[@TasteofTrini]

lucinda Trix Nice!! That's the only way I can eat food lol

[@chefsjacket]

u need to add lime

[@SASSY21255]

marcus gonzalez yep... I was wondering where the lime juice .... That's a main ingredient for fish broth

[@chrisragbir9804]

she mention to add some lime at the end

[@mrscashmorrisey1702]

If you add lime to the fish when seasoning, there isn't any need to add additional lime.

[@persaud1207]

yuh brother cute!!!

[@TasteofTrini]

Thanks lol He's single

[@persaud1207]

*awkward*

[@kevondavis1966]

ummmmm my girl pull out the himiliyan pink salt well yes

[@Vincent2wice]

Red Snapper? NO! You MUST USE Shark! Also shark has no bones for the children who may be eating. Great recipe, my wife and I makes our shark broff very similar to this...

[@TasteofTrini]

Vincent2wice I'm my opinion, the Red Snapper is great in Broff. Everyone has their own preference. Shark sounds good too but I'm not a lover of it.

[@safrazhossain4708]

dis is Ashley tho my dad lol

[@TasteofTrini]

Safraz Hossain Lol oh ok, nice! He have to teach smalls how to make it

[@felishiachow7008]

Frying up that with oil is a nono putting a maggi soup is for ppl who cant mk fish broth

[@TasteofTrini]

That's how he likes to make it. We did mention that it's his version. Everyone has their own way of cooking for their taste.

[@simgirl_anuradhap3277]

Que? Ketchup!!!

[@TasteofTrini]

simgirl_anuradha p Trust me, it's weird but makes a huge difference in taste. You'll love it

[@simgirl_anuradhap3277]

Taste of Trini I'm vegetarian but was looking at your style of making soup. I will try a couple of table spoons.

[@eladahchance5245]

Hey

[@kngjay9590]

Macaroni dont taste good in soups

[@rajdaisawh8090]

Reshmi you can't cook like Guyanese people

[@rennyandsons]

You just jealous of Trini people gayanese can't cook no day with a Trini .

[@elijah4891]

Wat kind of trini are you fodgeting to put golden ray

[@anyib.3150]

MEME KING actually golden Ray is optional and some people are allergic to butter or just don’t like the smell like my grandmother doesn’t cook with it and no matter how little or lot you put in it she can smell it and it makes her nauseous again preference is a big thing also she does add it at 11:21 so watch the whole video before talking eh
