[@gisellesalazar5540]

[@nataliebutler9647]

[@risa8685]

Glad to see Arlene on the show. I learnt this saltfish recipe from her channel a few years ago. I made it for my family and they loved it! Saltfish in coconut milk is the bomb! I can't see myself making saltfish any other way. Thanks for tip, Arlene darling!

[@jeremymoshette6738]

Jamaicans make something similar called run down. They make it with salted mackerel. I love watching you guys.

[@anniesez3949]

That salt fish story is interesting 🤔 But my parents said because they had no refrigeration on the hot island fish and meats were salted or pickled to preserve

[@chalenahutcherson8521]

exactly.

[@tracyjulien3287]

Correct is right... I really don't know where she got that bogus story from to mislead people!!!

[@djaniklyons6744]

Just made this and loving it

[@shanellarabess6160]

In Dominica this is a very popular dish we call 'Sancoche'. It is normally served dumplins with green bananas.

[@aynefortune2492]

InvTrinidada there is a dish called sancoche

[@aynefortune2492]

But its more like a soup.

[@deridaluke9357]

Dominica sancoche will minus the ketchup, add green papaya or christophenes

[@karendaley7673]

Saltfish run down in Jamaica,we use it wit salt mackerel as well

[@susanobrady2706]

In Connecticut - I made this dish and it was an absolutely amazing and tasty dish! Thank you Arlene

[@RevHaynes]

The two most beautiful women in food.

[@shefine04]

Arlene is a sweetheart & she is a great cook😍

[@ruthnettles1677]

Cmon,you can put coconut milk in any stew,it just takes it up to a nxt level 👍🏽

[@kismetbridgeforth9131]

Curry fish dishes throughout Thailand and Indonesia traditionally use coconut milk, you're on point, and the sweet & salty flavors compliment each other.

[@kaalad3666]

My grandmother has been cooking this for years! Love it!

[@shelly5224]

I see Arlene and instantly like because i KNOW it's gonna be good

[@judyforbes5584]

Thank you so much. I tried it cautiously today. My husband loved it. Blessings to you both.

[@lestermoore7990]

Yes indeed! She(Arleen) cooks real good.

[@marciaguy1660]

Great job Arlene. I prepare this all the time, I even add some ochres (lady fingers) and pumpkin at times.

[@msella7901]

This is how I always make my stewed saltfish except I never used coconut milk. Will def try it like that next time!!!!! Looks good. Glad to see Arlene again!!!!

Wonderful recipe and plating by Arlene as usual, you're fantastic cook. Kezzi bringing that nice vibes like she always does. I've always cooked my saltfish in the exact way, I'm addicted to coconut milk in my cooking. Keep up the good work ladies.

[@patrickwin5840]

[@annedwards6593]

Coconut milk in saltfish is everything yummy

[@sparklelafoucade1693]

I followed this recipe today and it’s the best salt fish I’ve ever tasted, thanks for sharing 🇹🇹

[@simoneduncan8875]

Gosh boy! I have about 1.5 pounds of salt fish in the freezer. I'll be making some stewed salt fish this week man. Yummm 😋.

[@leslie-annsandy2541]

Presentation IS everything! Love😍

[@sddunlop]

In Jamaica that would be a rundown..yummy

[@knowledgeisofgod]

Two of my favorite Trini women, all y'all need is Rene lol

[@dawnecamacho2601]

I have to try salt fish with coconut milk. Today I made her receipt for coo coo and stew fish. My husband and I loved it. We never made coo coo with coconut milk in it. Bring some more of Arlene’s receipts.

[@moniqueconnors2838]

Yummy!! I made this dish for some friends and it was a big hit thanks for sharing!!

[@kuyahkudey3217]

We make salt fish this way in Jamaica too. We cook salted mackerel with coconut milk, plus we cook chicken with it also.

[@spicykennag]

We use coconut oil in Grenada. ..either way works.

[@gregcozier3705]

Great tutorial. History correction: salted Cod, pork and beef was imported from N.America to the Caribbean to feed slaves and poor people. It is said that cod was so plentiful in the NW Atlantic (Cape Cod) that fishermen could walk on the schools of fish. It was plentiful and therefore cheap. And no, we didn't salt meat in the Caribbean (I believe the only large natural salt deposits in the Caribbean are in the Bahamas but could be wrong) as much as smoke it to preserve it. The word Buccaneer is derived from the French word Boucan for the men who hunted game and smoked it to sell to ship captains.

[@reneemckain900]

I could never get the hang of cooking salt fish but when I add the coconut milk and ketchup it made such a difference

[@Rikki-D]

I made it & could not stop eating it! I made 2 dishes, one with Salt Fish & without it & added Perch Fish & Sweet Potatoes. Both Recipes are so good! Tx for sharing👍🏾

[@merlegraham627]

Thanks for this salt fish recipe Arlene and Kezzie. It would also go well with a Dumpling Pie and a fresh salad.

[@sita5250]

I tried it and it's the absolute best...greatest recipe

[@debbiejairam5697]

Never had it this way. Looks delicious

[@colleencaruth2676]

I made it today and it tasted awesome thanks too both of you.

[@sita5250]

Coconut milk made the greatest addition to saltfish

[@soniadeena8923]

I am going to try it

[@amanda69336]

I love saltfish my mother in law made me saltfish n curry shrimp last weekend great video 💞🇨🇦

[@Angel.M.Trinidad]

Dip & Scoop the local saltfish dish with coconut 🥥🥥 milk! 10 - 10 as Kezzy said. I will be trying this recipe. Thanks Arlene. Stay classy with your quiet confidence. From Angel in Trinidad. 🇹🇹❤️🇹🇹

[@adrianachong9029]

So as a gardener I have 1 caveat with the story. Fish is definitely used in fertilizer. As a matter of fact I use a fish emulsion in my plants in spring and summer. If they were using the fish as fertilizer they would not add salt especially copious amount of it due to the fact that salt is detrimental to the health of plants. Salts in the soil would stop the roots from taking up water and therefore the plants would die. I think the truth is somewhere in the middle but salting is used as a preservation of meats and fish and most likely that’s really where it came from. Actually Scandinavia for many many centuries salt and smoke fish as a way of preservation. I do believe this would have been handed down from ancestry.

[@claudetterosecaribbeancooking]

Very interesting and great recipe,I definitely have to try.

[@ayealialexwood4886]

This looks sooo good I definately have to tty it. Thanks guys

[@Triniforchrist]

[@olivernurse5901]

[@bellaeagles8544]

[@moyaogilvie-milwood7017]

Rundown in Jamaica

[@leolady23]

I WILL be trying this!!!! 🤤

[@lovethewave100]

Really good!! Salt fish came about as a way to preserve the fish, nothing to do with slave or a way to add nutrition to soil... But once again great content.. I've subcribed!

[@lisellethomas7869]

I have not eaten this in years ,my Tobagonian mother also does it with a corned fish cannot remember the name .

[@jocelyneangol7422]

We called in sandcoche in nature island ofDominica

[@girleylizb]

[@allyalexander5725]

[@joanremy5029]

It's a Tobago thing the first I had it was in Tobago so of course I tried it but to me it didn't have that taste I enjoyed so much

[@lestermoore7990]

Ho! Arlene, that looks very palatable, I'm learning to be a better cook by looking at your capabilities in the kitchen .....good job!

[@Angel.M.Trinidad]

There is also corned fish in coconut milk. A very humble talented food designer! Smimks away! 🤭🤭🤭

[@akeemg.8969]

I doh care if it was 'curry eggshells', I see Arlene cookin' and ah done know is ah best plate! Instant "Like"!!

[@karelphillips3483]

Coconut milk flavours any local food. Must try it.

[@heathergittens3223]

[@juliealexis8510]

[@Barry_TopG]

[@carmenhosein3634]

[@coolman8336]

I wonder if this is the same saltfish sparrow was singing about 🤔

[@nigelkhan9278]

Trini women are absolutely beautiful, flawless and spicy.

[@shackelbaptiste1606]

salt is cook with coconut milk in Tobago, eat in wherever I go in Tobago. Allyuh know to use coconut milk next time.

[@TheChampdeFleurs]

Yummm

[@aplaceinthestars3207]

I am calling everything a 'sminx' from now on!

[@aplaceinthestars3207]

You know what, I keep thinking about Arlene talking about the saltfish origin in Afro-Caribbean cooking and I recall reading somewhere that salt was a taboo food for the Africans (something like: it makes one 'heavy', and unable to escape or attain spirituality...) so even though it was a normal pre-refrigeration food, it was likely causing obvious distress for these enslaved workers to eat, so became just another part of the abuse regimen.

[@sarnathkerala8160]

Look ms Arlene cheers sis, update your u tube...

[@susanramnanan5884]

👍👍

[@bladerunner2059]

I from bago tell me where to find you 🥰

[@ram.4152]

Yes saltfish need plenty tomatoes, I hate to see white dry saltfish

[@nathanielming2067]

Don’t know about that salt fish story

[@chalenahutcherson8521]

I disagree. Salted fish and pickled veggies started before slavery as a way to preserve food during cold weather or hot weather.

[@tobyv7259]

Arlene seems like a great cook. But she needs to stop repeating that silly, false story on the origin of salt fish.

[@peggyseabrun4829]

She said it was something she read,. We know it was used as a method of preservation e.g. in Norway. However , it does not mean that what she read is untrue . There is an article titled Origins of Slave Food: Callaloo,Dumplings and Saltfish. Google it and have a read. At school we were taught that brined pigtails and salted fish were imported as a cheap form of protein to feed the slaves.

[@jervicbrown4134]

I don't really like salt fish but I clicked because I saw two baddies👻🤷‍♂️

[@fergie960]

your story is wrong
