Hello Valdene, my apologies for the late response; unfortunately we do not get all notifications but we don't have any control over that. First of all I have a cousin that is Valdene as well; we grew up like sisters; I rarely come across that name. Lol, well my dear, just another option but same results. Thank you so much for watching and I hope to see you soon again. Much blessings. Xo
@@EverythingPaulette Hi GM..for many years i thought I was the only with that name 😂 but it seems there are just a few people who have it, Have blessed day❤
I make cou cou without okra all the time. Okras are like snot to me. I put nothing of that consistency in my mouth. I just use the water and tastes so delicious. For family members that like them I set them aside and spoon them over their cou cou. 🤷🏻
Hello Denny, I am so happy for you, please share the channel and I hope to see more of you. Thank you so much for your support, Merry Christmas and safe and prosperous New Year. Xo
I really enjoy your cooking I love coo coo I am from Trinidad 🇹🇹 my grandmother was from 🇧🇧 I never get to meet her but some day I will like to go to Barbados to enjoy all the beautiful food
Hello Mercy, thank you so much for watching, I truly appreciate it. Yes Barbados has the goods, lol. I hope you get to go there too my dear, have a blessed day. Xo
Hmm yes it’s me niki watching from both of my channels now Paulette that info was through Friday’s Saturday and Sunday Barbados has special days for cooking our dishes. 🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧
Hi sis this meal looks absolutely delicious! I need to try your recipe I never had Coo Coo before. Great cooking and presentation. Thanks for sharing.❤
Good afternoon Miss. Paulette, you kept your word and I am so deeply grateful for this recipe this was one of my sweet Gran's favourites, thank you, it means so much to me...I will try, you take care of yourself.
@@carolebridgeman5005 Ohh I have no idea my dear, I have not had any in some time but you should definitely use pink salmon with your cou cou, that's what I use now and I do actually like it better with the salmon.
Our national dish. This looks truly amazing! I'm saving all the recipes. My mom never like me being in the kitchen with her so I never get to see how to make any of these recipes. Thank you for these uploads! 🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧❤❤❤❤
Hello my dear; I have to admit; I was kinda like your mom, lol. But at least you have recipes and videos now just practice, practice and practice. Thank you so much and have a blessed weekend. Xoxoxo
Paulette, it looks awesome. My Mom taught me to do the cornmeal the same way; it prevents the cornmeal from lumping. I never heard of a Cou Cou stick. I love the way you do your fish💯👍🏽. Thank you so much.
Paulette this is so interesting I have never seen this... The cornmeal looks so good and I love fish! I love that you share your culture thru cooking and teach me new things!! I love it 🥰 hope your having a great weekend!
5:40 Thanks for the amazing recipe ♡ 9:00 Stir constantly until all of the water has evaporated 9:28 Cook for at least 35 minutes. 9:40 Cook at medium till all the water is cooked out then turn down to low 10:00 Still until the water is gone, then turn the heat down a little lower and when it is dried out add more water. Keep repeating until you get to the texture you want. If you want to cook it softer just add more slush.
@@EverythingPaulette Thanks so much ♡ I tried your recipe and followed your examples and was able to make some delicious coucou ♡ Have a great weekend ♡
This looks so good, just as my grandmother and aunties used to make. I will be making this recipe soon, with snapper or king fish. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe
Hello Ms Goddard, thank you so much for stopping by, I truly appreciate it and I am so happy you like the recipe. Have a blessed week my dear and I hope to see you soon again. Xo
I just wanted to update you and tell you this recipe was AMAZING. 5 Stars, Ms. Paulette. My husband has never had cou cou before and he loved it. It brought back so many memories of my childhood. Thank you again!

Now i had to pass this one up, sooooo not a fan of cou-cou.. Yeah i know revoke my bajan passport ,citizenship and rights 🇧🇧🇧🇧 right. "a bajan dat doan like cou-cou our national dish 😂😂😂😂. I Love to see people cook it,nd eat it (and the sweat bust out😂😂😂😂, it looks sooooooo enjoyable but i can't do it... But i showed my hubby the video and he says to tell u "ort den, das a proper cou-cou,sweet potato✅pickled cucumber ✅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. From watching my elders make it i've come to realized the different styles as far as the okra inside the meal .. Now the flying fish"pullin loud".. My alllllll time favorite fish i could eat flying fish EVERYDAY.. ALLLLLL DAY..Nice video Paulette.. Feeling proud..
Roseann Smith Wow 😮 I need more supporters like you 😁 funny when I was very young I didn’t care for it either but now I get cravings for it; lol. But I really prefer it with salmon I just think it has a better flavor. Sometimes you have to be innovative and do things a little differently but same end results. Girl you hit all the right notes 📝 Thank you 🙏 so much for stopping by and your support is everything!!! A blessed and safe Memorial Day weekend to you and your family. 🙏🙏🙏🌼💕
I'm a lover of coco and fish, so this recipe has my taste buds going over time. Your technique is a bit different from how we do it here in Trinidad. Presentation on point. Love Love love💕💕❤
Hello my friend, thank you so much for your warm and heart felt comment; much appreciated dear and yes we do make it quite different. When I was really younger, I didn't like it so much but now I have to have it; soooo delicious. It wanted to put that out for a while and I am very happy with the results. Have an awesome weekend and I will talk to you soon. Xoxo
I am a lover coo coo and fish actally that what cook today .I grow up with have it on on fridays as welll souse and pudding saturday / mutton soup. I enjoyed as always TFS
Oooh the soup, how can I forget the soup!!! guess I will have to make that somewhere down the road. I am sure you make yours a little different and I know it is good too. Thanks so much and have a bless weekend. Xoxo
@@EverythingPaulette You're welcome. I'm making this on Friday. You made it exactly like my Grandma, only one difference is she slices up the ockra. Thank you so much for posting this up 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I've been wanting to make this for a while now because my Grandma is back in Barbados and I miss her cooking 😁❤🇧🇧
Hello my dear, so sorry for the late response. I know the flying fish is very hard to find but it is very delicious with the can salmon, I hope you try it and let me know. Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope to see you again.
Ahhh, my parents used to call this the "Home Economics" method: adding cold water to the cornmeal first. We also chopped up the okra and put it in the Cou-Cou.
Yeaaaah!!! Hello Robert, some things still remain with us and yes I used to cut up the okras and put them in the corn meal also but now I am more innovative and prefer to see the okras on the side and you are still getting the water they are cooked in so I see that as a win, win. Thank you so much for stopping by; I really appreciate it and I hope to see you back. Have a blessed day.
Hello Jovani! truth be told you might not get it in your area unless someone get it for you but yes you can use any other fish of your choice; if you like the pink salmon that would be a very good option. Thank you so much for watching and supporting, have a blessed day.
Hi Lisa! Thank you so much; it is not hard at all; you just have to prep your stuff in the right order; that is the hardest part. Try to start with at least 2 cups of the meal and remember, you don't have to use all the okra water; just enough for the consistency you need and make sure it's cooked. I hope it comes out well for you and let me know. Have a bless weekend.
Hi Paulette. What a beautiful presentation!! This dish is filled with lots of colorful and delicious veggies. I am not familiar with that fish, but I have had the coo coo with okra. Of course, you know that the hubby prepared it for me. Everything you cook is delicious. You are an excellent chef, Chef Paulette.Thanks for sharing your gift. Have a wonderful weekend. ~Hugs. 🕊🌹🕊
Growing up with the beautiful mix of Panamanian and Bajan approach to cou cou made me really like this dish. I never liked okra but the cou cou & red snapper was life. 🥰
Hello my Friend, I hear you, for most people, they have to acquire the taste for Okras but I am glad you like it and thank you so much for stopping by and supporting my Channel, please share it with your family and friends and I hope to see more of you. Have a blessed week.
This dish is one of my favorite dish from the islands. It used to be cooked on Fridays in my parents home with cod fish . i still make it but cannot find flying fish so i use king or snapper but would love to find flying fish in Canada. Your dish looks awesome tks. Great presentation.
Hello Arlene, my apologies, unfortunately we do not always see the notifications; only by chance. It can be very frustrating but we don't have any control over that. But anyway, I thank you so much for coming by; I know it is very hard to find the flying fish. Have you tried it with the can salmon; I actually prefer it with salmon and many people as well. Again it is so nice of you to stop by and I hope to see you again. Have a blessed weekend. Xo
Hello dear, my apologies for the delay. I would highly recommend the pink salmon in the can; is very delicious. Thank you so much for coming by and I hope to see you again. Much blessings.
GM Raggamuffin!! You dont need the flying fish; you can use the salmon in the can; I actually prefer the salmon, I think the flavor is so much better. My girlfriend went to Barbados and brought me back the fish and the cornmeal. So use the salmon until you can get the flying fish.Have a blessed week my friend. Xo
Hi Paulette, great video 👍🏽 I’m in the 🇬🇧 and cannot source flying fish in my town. What other fish can I use? Would salmon work or would it break down to much? Thanks
Hello Janelle, thanks so much for watching! Salmon would be great, I prefer the pink salmon but I would suggest that you add the salmon last, I make it with salmon all the time. Have a blessed morning. Xo
This would definitely be a new dish for me. Looks very tasty Ms. Paulette. Thanks for sharing how you make it. Have a wonderful and blessed weekend! 😊❤
That cou cou look so delicious! I made a cou cou video earlier this week that I will be putting up soon, I wish I had seen your video before I could have taken some of your ideas
@@GabrielleStuart Hello Ashley, I am so sorry I took so long to respond to you but I see you have sorted it out. I was going to suggest the way I do it would be perfect for you unless you do not like the slime but cou cou is not cou cou without the slime. My version you do not have to eat the okras; you are just getting the slime to cook the cornmeal with. Me personally, I love okras, I just prefer to have them on the side. Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope to see you soon again. Have a blessed week ahead. Xo
rashod Jackson Hello Rashod, it really depends on what I can get at the time, sometimes it’s Iberia or whatever, but I prefer a little course in texture. It is hard to keep up because whey you like a particular brand then they stop carrying it; you know how that goes. But I really appreciate you watching and thanks for your support, be safe out there.
@@rashodjackson5687 GM!! Yeah I never thought of ordering food items from Amazon, great idea. Regarding Bajans, you are so right, they are a hand full out there but they are not into it like the other islands like Trinidad, Guyana. Bajans are too lay back. I am very thankful for your support though; really appreciate it. Thanks again and have a great week and be safe.

This would definitely be a new dish for me. Looks very tasty Ms. Paulette. Thanks for sharing how you make it. Have a wonderful and blessed weekend! 😊❤
Thank you my sweet Friend, have a blessed weekend!!! Xoxoxo
That cou cou look so delicious! I made a cou cou video earlier this week that I will be putting up soon, I wish I had seen your video before I could have taken some of your ideas
Aaaawe, lol.
Hi new to your channel. Can't wait
Yaayy love it 🇧🇧
Thank you so much dear. Xo
can you do it without the okra? i’m bajan and hate okra , love coo coo though
wait nvm lol my mom adds the okra in the meal
@@GabrielleStuart Hello Ashley, I am so sorry I took so long to respond to you but I see you have sorted it out. I was going to suggest the way I do it would be perfect for you unless you do not like the slime but cou cou is not cou cou without the slime. My version you do not have to eat the okras; you are just getting the slime to cook the cornmeal with. Me personally, I love okras, I just prefer to have them on the side. Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope to see you soon again. Have a blessed week ahead. Xo
Yummy food ❤️. What is the name of fish?
GM Krishna, it is flying fish from Barbados, thank you so much for watching, I truly appreciate it; hope you are enjoying your weekend. Xx
Wow, thank you
Good job❤❤❤
Trinidad coo coo has coconut milk in it and your stewed fish method is unique
Hello Charlene, I would definitely love to try the Trini version. Thank you so much for watching and I hope to see you again. Be safe and well.
What brand of cornmeal do you use
rashod Jackson Hello Rashod, it really depends on what I can get at the time, sometimes it’s Iberia or whatever, but I prefer a little course in texture. It is hard to keep up because whey you like a particular brand then they stop carrying it; you know how that goes. But I really appreciate you watching and thanks for your support, be safe out there.
Everything Paulette yes i know how you feel but check amazon. And no doubt imma fan don’t see too many bajan youtubers on here.
@@rashodjackson5687 GM!! Yeah I never thought of ordering food items from Amazon, great idea. Regarding Bajans, you are so right, they are a hand full out there but they are not into it like the other islands like Trinidad, Guyana. Bajans are too lay back. I am very thankful for your support though; really appreciate it. Thanks again and have a great week and be safe.
Hey quick question. Where did you get flying fish from in the United States?
Hello Al, it would most definitely be from Barbados, someone brought it for me; thanks so much for watching, have a great and blessed week.
@@EverythingPaulette Hmm, do you know anywhere you can get some in the US?
@@Albiesure23 🤔Unfortunately no, so sorry.
Our national dish 😍👏🏾
Thank you Rayna, wishing you and your love ones the very best for 2020.
Its not!
Looks good but I prefer my okras chopped up in the cornmeal and some extra whole okras on the side. Dont like steam flying fish prefer fried. 💕🇬🇧
How much fish did you use?
