Can’t believe the negative comments here! Yes it wasn’t perfect but it was really good and I’m so happy you gave it a try. You will continue to get better. Great job!

Lisa Harewood thank you I appreciate it I don’t pay the negative no mind some people moan but can’t cook or won’t even try 🤣 thanks queen 💜

Lisa Harewood and trying to get flying fish in England is difficult hence salt fish for the people that don’t know 😉

I never had cou cou with the okras separately. Nah dread. You have your islands mixed up. Nice try though!

[@Ceecrystalclear]

Your too rass fast it’s for presentation who ah eat okra like that come on raatid

[@janetmckay9816]

Hell no Bajans don't make cou cou like that, don't know who taught you that way

[@user-pw2eb1ki2s]

yummy!!!

[@aliciabrowne3991]

You did a great job! Don’t mind the naysayers. Bajans make cou cou to their own liking. There is no perfect recipe or specific way to eat it. My gran gran made it differently than all her kids including my mum. I grew up eating it swimming in gravy. Next time you make it add a lil water to your salt fish and let it boil down. You could add in a link curry powder too for flavor. When you plate it take a big spoon and press it down in the middle of your cou cou and pour the salt fish gravy mixture in the impression you made in the middle like a crater. That’s my lil 2 cents. Keep the videos coming sweet boy. 🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧

Alicia Browne thanks you queen done it a few time and watched my auntie do it but no ones gave me the full low down on how to make it so had to figure it out myself but yeah with Gravy sounds amazing going to try it next time I make it yeah it makes sense make it like a lil volcano then add the gravy hehe 😉 thanks for the advice 💜💜

Looks good . Why you don't have gravy the gravy on the cou cou is the best part.

[@Ceecrystalclear]

tamme layne my bajan family always talking about it but never actually made it for me so I tried myself 🙂

[@Ceecrystalclear]

tamme layne can you tell me how to make the gravey ?

[@tamme6217]

Well to make the gravy to need onions sweet pepper tomatoes . We would chop up the onions and sweet pepper and garlic with chive and lightly saute with a little oil making sure it doesn't burn and then add tomato ketchup a little and stir it for a little bit add the salt fish and stir for a little while then add water then the chop tomatoes and butter and a little curry and paprika and black pepper and salt to taste . Add some thyme and majarome if you have and let it boil until it has a good consistency. If you need to thicken it use about a teaspoon of flour and a little Water and make a paste and the stir it into the gravy . I have never told any one how to make anything before so I hope you have a good time with this .

No way!

[@soniadaniel6295]

When I heard your accent I had to watched to the end.

sonia daniel did you try the dish 😊

[@SwatisRecipe]

Nice recipe

[@Ceecrystalclear]

Thanks you 💜

[@heatherleacock1590]

You are so WRONG...that is not how we Bajans make our cou cou...first things first we also add okra in our cou cou and our cou cou has to be eaten with a lot of gravy with lots of onions and fresh 🍅 tomatoes...garlic thyme etc

[@Ceecrystalclear]

Heather leacock do you make the gravy from scratch ? I would like to try it with gravy next time I cook it

[@heatherleacock1590]

@@Ceecrystalclear of course..yes the gravy is made with sauteed onions garlic tomatoes sweet peppers thyme your spices of choice and (you can add some of the fish or whatever meat you are having) back into the gravy for additional flavour .
