Critical Success Points

  • Roasting the breadfruit without over‑charred bottom
  • Desalting the salted mackerel until the salt level is palatable
  • Scrubbing off excess char with steel wool to achieve the right texture
  • Stuffing the breadfruit and finishing the cooking on low heat to meld flavors

Safety Warnings

  • Scotch bonnet peppers are extremely hot – handle with gloves and avoid touching your face.
  • The breadfruit and skillet become very hot; use oven mitts when handling.
  • Steel wool can scratch cookware – use only on the charred skin, not on the interior.
