Ive seen Asian people break chicken bones in there soup. I’ve never asked why but I’m guessing it’s because your exposing the bone marrow and that gives out a lot of flavor.

This can apply here too I’m guessing.

A good cook can do all of that in fukking minutes... :ld: Like I said...:beli:


He did not scale that fish,all Jamaicans scale their fish and it can be time consuming. Jamaicans never skin their fish, it’s scaling all the way. Even in non Jamaican food, a peice of pan fried fish with crispy skin is the preference.

The way we cook our fish (brown stew for example) a fillet would break up in no time before taking on any flavour.

Majority of cooks do not zip line their fish especially not Jamaicans, it’s not a technique that is native to our culture.

The fish he chose to fillet is a long narrow fish that tapers to a point like a sea bass much easier to fillet; even though the act is a skill within itself.

He did not gut that fish at all, no need when your filleting, Jamaicans always gut their fish.



If you want a filleted fish, I suggest you go to more high end restaurants. We have never changed the way we do things to please the western pallet unless out of pure necessity. If that is the case that restaurant is not Jamaican and will not be frequented by Jamaicans. E.g There are many places that sell Mannish water, it is not to the taste of the majority; but it something that we enjoy.

We are very particular about our food. If you don’t like it; don’t buy it. Or better yet, next time you’re in the Jamaican food shop ask Everton or Sherene to fillet your fish and let me know how what happens.

It's why I hate stews that use drumsticks and shyt.

Stews need to be boneless meat..

It's like shrimp scampi with the tail still on :camby:

I wanna be able to just go at my meal with a fork and/or spoon.

The bone splinters because the cleaver isn’t sharp enough, chicken bones are quite hollow unlike cow bones which are way more solid and has a pattern of bone running through the main circular exterior. It’s not even the fault of the shop, it’s really the butcher that’s at fault.

If your are going to joint a chicken yourself I would suggest your sharpen your cleaver and ensure your cleaver has a heavy handle. If you are unable to sharpen your cleaver, cut at the joint sections only where the chicken parts bends naturally. The softer cartilage allows for a knife that is not as sharp to cut through much easier.

You know your stuff, brehette.

I used to mess up until I used the sharper knives. Stopped using my strength to chop after that. True stuff about the joints too.

You cook a lot?

Have you had Caribbean Chicken and Fish off East Ponce by Dekalb Farmers Market? they give great portions for the price and the customer service is very special.

I do, I have a whole Instagram page dedicated to food. Doms_nomnoms


You should invest in a pair of good chef knives. Global are the ones I have, they have sand in the handle for better weight distribution. They are not cheap though.

I just don't eat so fast I swallow bones goofy

Don’t be offended many people are scared to eat an animal that looks how it did in its natural state, lots of people don’t know how to break a fish down to get rid of majority of he bones before they eat. Any bones that are missed are usually by accident.
