A basin of Jamaican fried snapper fish from Alligator Pond sea front in St. Elizabeth. This fish was fried outdoors on wood fire Jamaican style. In Jamaica it is customary to roast, fry, grill and bake salt water fish. Many Jamaicans abroad and visitors alike visit Jamaica for the taste of the fish alone. Nowhere in the world fish is done like Jamaica… and I meant every word of it.
