About the dish

Smudder fish is a traditional fish dish originating from the Bahamas. It's usually made with a combination of white fish, onions, tomatoes, coriander, butter, and lime juice. In order to prepare the dish, a big pan is greased with butter, and the fish is placed into the pan. It's then smothered in freshly squeezed lime juice, onion rings, tomatoes, cilantro, and butter. The combination is baked in the oven until everything is tender and the fish is fully cooked. It's recommended to serve this dish with rice and vegetables on the side. There's also an alternative way of preparing the dish by first frying the fish, smothering it with lime juice, then boiling it with tomatoes, onions, and thyme.
