Fish
Whole
Whole parrotfish is the standard tropical market form—gutted, often scaled, fried deep or stewed in pepper sauces. The beak and bones remain; diners pick clean meat from the frame. Score thick areas, fry hot, and finish with acidic dressings. Serve with festival or rice and peas in Caribbean style.
