As the name suggests, in Trinidad this fried fish sandwich is traditionally cooked using blacktip shark, though other types of fish are often substituted. 'Bake' refers to the bread which makes up the sandwich, this can be a fried flatbread, or as here, coconut bake, a simple scone-like recipe that produces a fluffy, mild coconut flavoured bread. As with lots of Trini food it's really the condiments that make the meal - here we've got garlic sauce, tangy tamarind sauce and a fiery lime pepper sauce to choose from. Seasoned fries and a refreshing cucumber chow complete this summery spread.

5/5

A really great recipe. I used Bass fillets and the marinade didn’t swamp the fine taste of the Bass. Prep is easy and the results are ace. Big tastes and hugely recommend!

Thanks for your lovely review, Nick - we're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed the sunny Caribbean flavours in this Trini dish!

5/5

Lovely recipe- we don't eat enough fish so this was a lovely treat and great new way to enjoy fish. Great way to experience new flavours!

It's great to hear that this dish introduced you to some new techniques and flavours, Deb! Happy spicing!
