I'm sure this may be very tasty, but the Trinidad stewed fish does not use any Chinese seasonings. In fact the base is done with a roux, then you add water, ketchup and seasoning.
What a sweet girl, sharing her mom-in-law's recipe. It's great when in-laws get on with kids. Lovely recipe Natasha. Going to cook it today minus the annato liquid. Could not find fresh or frozen cassava by the way. Am going to use the cassava flour and keep you posted.
This looks delicious. I will make this for my Dinner I always make a Roux before adding the vegetables because when I add the flour after it gets lumpy. I made the cassava for the second time yesterday.It was a request. Served with the Baby back ribs.Thank you soooooo much.
Just discovered your channel and I'm soooo in love! I'm Trini and it fascinates me to hear/see others' cooking methods (even for 'common' dishes). Very grateful for you sharing your knowledge!! In love with your style of cooking. Will be recreating your dishes. You are an inspiration! 👌💞
it's always nice to watch and learn how other people make basic dishes. I saw the occo here in Trinidad in the bottle had no idea what to do with it. lol love the oyster sauce in the fish will have to try it, and I didn't know how to add the flour I usually get flour lumps, very informative thanks.
this looks very delicious can't wait to try it when I make your roucou. I enjoyed your stew fish today seasoning with that lime pepper sauce really kick things up a notch. love it
Well first let me say the way your mother in law told you how to make it, that is not the way I saw my mother, grandmother and aunties did it but your way looks very good and delicious, I will try making it your way.( mother in law)
I finally know how to make stewed fish - about to make it for the first time... thanks for the recipe... quick true story when my brother and I were kids we wanted to make stewed fish for my parents anniversary so we put sugar to brown ... well, the rest was history.
am making this 2day. but used to cook suriname style coz am from surinam. but saw this n gonna try it..coz i dont use sesame oil or soy saus in it. but wil today u have a fb page i can share .
Would like to give this a try! Couple of questions though---> Is it necessary to fry the fish first or was that just a preference? Also, is oyster sauce similar to hoisin sauce?
I actually don't use sugar when I'm stewing fish. I fry mine, dusting with a little flour and a tad bit of cornmeal; then I sautee my veggies allowing it to come to a simmer, put in all my ingredients, then the fish last. Believe it or not, the gravy is thickened with just the flour the fish was fried with.
I guess people living in the City cooks differently. You don’t put Ketchup in stew fish. You use very ripe tomatoes, that gives all the flavor. Ketchup takes away from the natural flavor.
have never made fish with oyster sauce have to try another way to stew without sugar thanks. i have seen on a informative one christmas that they use ookoo to make pork in paramin maybe you can look into that for us pls thanks.
You mess up di whole dish by adding all that Chinese ingredients. Wah yuh think yuh making gurl? Chinese stew? Smh!!!! Alyuh foreign trini’s dis get dohtish when alyuh leave Trinidad Eh?
I appreciate the way you cook so neat and clean, with no wastage of your ingredients. It shows how respectful you are of what you do.
Trini food is delicious I live in Georgia in the US. When people taste our food they're impressed. Trini to the bone.

yes she is and we have a great relationship. I wish you could find the liquid or the seeds. yes waiting to find out how the powder works out.
I just tried it. I didn't have oucou so it tasted a little ketchupy. But it's by far the best stew fish I ever made! Thank you
Okie thank you for trying it

Sometimes it’s good to try something different rather than traditional ways.

Dawna Maria, you can also mix the flour with water, not too thick and strain it.....that way you wouldn't get the lumps.
+jopam3 true. thanks for that
Thanks Trini Cooking with Natasha!!
Oh ok thank you
You're welcome Dawna Maria....anything to help.

Hi Natasha, I was looking for a recipe where you don't have to fry the fish...couldnt find any, so I made it the way I know, was delicious.
Hope you enjoy, i will work on a recipe that's not fried.
Cook sauce till thickened a bit, add seasoned fish and allow to cook for about 2 mins, flip cook for another 2-3 mins basting with sauce
Thanku so much looks delicious

u have a fb page i can share .
Shalinie P. Natasha Natasha. or @trinicooking19 on instagram
What can be used in place of the roucou?
Tomato paste
Very nice
Exceptional
do you think it be fine to use the goya sazon seasoning coriander and annatto as im pressed for time?
Shari Mohan sure that's fine
this looks great i tried the last one u made (browning the sugar style) and that was awesome
ok. this is even better.
+Trini Cooking with Natasha nice will try it
Great recipe
Would like to give this a try! Couple of questions though---> Is it necessary to fry the fish first or was that just a preference? Also, is oyster sauce similar to hoisin sauce?
It holds the sauce better,but if you don't want to you can omit that step. The oyster sauce is not as strong. I recommend not altering it.
@@TriniCookingwithNatasha Okay, thanks!
looks great gonna try
Nice just love it
Can i do this without the roucoo? Is there a flavor substitute?
Of course just omit it.
I know for pastelles ppl use tomato paste as a substitute for roucou. Not sure if that can apply here
@@terrirannp sure
It looks delicious
I MADE IT AND I DIDN'T HAVE CELERY SO I IMPROVISED WITH CHADON BENI AND I DID'T HAVE THE RED SAUCE ...SO IT CAME OUT A LITTLE DARKER.
I've never seen stewed fish done this way and it sure looks interesting. So guess who's going to try it???? Yes ma'am, I am!!
yes try it out it's healthier since no sugar is used. I more see the older folks stewing this way.

+jopam3 what do you use to get it red?
My Golden Ray or Mello Kreem and ketchup.
+jopam3 oh that's good to know
Can I make it without the oyster sauce ?
Kerlene Churaman yes
Trini Cooking with Natasha thank u
