I was thinking this as well. I don't even know what's going on, I was just listening to it in the background because I got busy doing something else, but that voice is so relaxing.
Thank you for posting this...I reside in Florida. My organic Ackee tree produced for the first time after 3 years growth. I was unsure of the process. Your detailed instruction video was extremely informative and helpful...I have always used the can ackee. This season FRESH organic from my tree. Yayyyy. Thank you once again. Nuff Love.
You need to tell people that they have to boil the salt fish a couple of times (change to fresh water every time)to get the some of the salt out of the fish. You can tell when the ackee is done by the tenderness of the ackee.
@@jayanm.k6366 You don't use mackerel for this nor any other oily fish. You use Cod or Pollock but cod is the main fish to use. Pollock is the poor Man's choice. The salt is to preserve the fish. So, if You don't use salt fish, (fish preserved in salt), then You You use good, fresh fish. Good fresh cod. You never use tinned fish for this dish & certainly don't use oily fish like mackerel. You can also make it with just the ackee & add red & yellow peppers & fresh tomato. You wanna to cook up the seasoning (scallion & veg) & when it's nearly done, ads in the ackee for the last 2 minutes. 2 minutes will do as You don't wanna overcook the ackee
@@JD-nq3yx The best is with just the ackee but with red peppers & tomatoes too. When You can really taste the ackee. I don't think People realise how delicious ackee is.
@@rebekahlegionsundaygirljou5543 in jamaica we mix ackee with tinned mackerel and its delicous and the ackee wont get over cooked after adding after the seasonings. How much its cooked depends on how long you boil it after taking out the seeds.
Great instructional on the processing of using fresh ackees, thank you!! ive often imagined how wonderful fresh ackees must taste. but canned has been my only experience. 1 experience with canned ackees that weren't drained, rinsed and parboiled than drained again and i was rushed to hospital for stomach pump. im not Jamaican by birth or culture but my Gullah/Geechee culture in the usa is similar enough to know that our Ancestors had created processes to detoxify foodstuffs to keep us safe and we should pay close attention to those processes more now than ever. During my convalescence i found that ackees aren't exclusively grown in Jamaica and are being harvested, forced rippened and canned with preservatives. hypoglycin is the poison in unrippened ackees and it causes liver degeneration in people. Here in the states more people are falling in love with ackees as i already have and its brought down the pricing to I believe so even more people can enjoy and include it to a plant based diet. TRUST THE PROCESS AND YUMMY IN MY TUMMY!!!
when I make ackee from the can, I don't boil it first,... i just strain the liquid out, and add it to the other ingredients in the pot,.. and let everything cook down a little bit. The ackee is already pretty soft, coming out of the can. (i imagine that it is pre-boiled from the factory processing.) Same way,.. when I cook fresh-frozen ackee that my family brings me from Jamaica,... I don't boil it, after I thaw it out,... because it's already been pre-boiled. And yes,... you can freeze fresh ackee and cook it later. Nice video.
i love your videos, thank you for sharing! My mother is from Jamaica and when we watch your videos, she says you are the real deal!! The best Jamaican chef on youtube!
Ackee from the can is very safe to use. It must be, once a label is on the can. As for the salt in the canned ackee. If you are worried about using too much salt rinse the ackee with water before you cook it. Sunnilocs ! Thanks for the comment SEXYDollface90 ! Canned Ackee is Good.

Jamaican Food - Jamaican Dinners - Video Network hey bro great video. but I'd rather do like you and eat ackee from the tree and not the can. its probably loaded with preservatives.
Ackee from the can is very safe " once a label is in the can". My dear friend your logic is illogical. A label is no guarantee the safety of a product in a container.
My Lawncare guy is Jamaican and was so happy to see one of these trees in my backyard. I was happy he was happy because I had been trying to figure out what sort of tree it was. After he told me about Ackee and Salt Fish I began googling and I found your video. I'm very eager to try this recipe out. Quick question: the black bulbs, I guess they're the seeds, you do not use these in the dish, correct?
What you prepared looks delicious, you made me so hungry, I'll be trying something similar tomorrow! Your lucky to have an Akiee tree in your yard, I would love one. Thanks for the ideas
LOVE, love, love ackee and saltfish. My dad is/was Jamaican and prepared it every Sunday....yummy! I never learned how to prepare it but living in Queens NYC, there are about 5 (close by) Jamaican restaurants. This is a prepared (home cooked) dish they serve/sell every Sunday to eat in or take out. Usually, it is sold with boiled green bananas, boiled dumplings and white yam. Occasionally the option of breadfruit is used. I also notice that they prepare it with chopped tomatoes. Anyway....DELISH!!!
Sherrell Lopez It is supposed to be prepared with tomatoes...I was wondering y he didn't add any, not even red bell peppers. We traditionally season it with onions, tomatoes, bell peppers, thyme, scotch pepper and sometimes a pinch of black pepper.
Miqua B.....My dad used to tell me that "everyone cooks differently and no two dishes come out the same even when prepared to the letter by two different people". I have a very close Jamaican female friend and we "discussed" the other day about how the saltfish should be 'chunked" (so to speak) and not shredded and if it were chunked (according to her) it was the wrong way to prepare it. I told her she hasn't the right to label it the wrong way just because she doesn't do it that way.....oh well, just living in a world with different opinions about different things. :)
Just to add to the conversation. Sometimes the salt fish is not "plentiful" so in order to make it go further, some folks will shred it. If you have a good amount of salt fish then "chunk" it of course (lol). That's how I do it........
Another way if u want to know if there ackee has finish boiled is to use a fork and poke the back of the ackee, that's the toughest part, once u poke it and back of the ackee break easyily enough, its finish being boiled.
That's look good Mon I can actually smell the onion & scallions cooking smell really good wish I was there , freshly picked ackee, and e very thing freshly make mi miss Jamaica just love Jamaica style cooking it's,even say pleasure watching it prepared & cooking what a pleasure, just love Jamaican food and seeing it being prepared luv to nam it
I know you asked this along time ago but yes you can use the ackee from a tin. It's either in brine of in salt water. I use the ackee in brine because saltfish is already salty even after the boil so I figure not need for my ackee to have even more salt.
I love the simplicity of this recipe, and how you took your time to explain everything, but I didn't see any yellowing on the Ackee? Plus your voice and accent were very soothing, please post fish soup, jerk and oxtail stew next. TY!
We were just in Jamaica and we had ackee with salt fish and onion in a bread dough. What is the name of this dish? Bobo Bread? It looked like an Italian calzone. It was delicious.
For someone who is from the other side of the world (Pacific Islands) I so want to try Ackee and Salt fish and other traditional dishes. Island food is the best
Sure, boned and skinned. Fry it properly and then add the cooked ackees. You gave me an idea, I will do a video with fish fillet and ackee; instead saltfish.
jalil creas... It is the same thing Jamaicans call the salted, cured cod "salt fish" However it has been said that smetimes what is sold as salted cod is other salted fish that look like cod. Some persons also use salted mackreal with the ackee.
Hi there i know its the same thing, i just wondering why is it they particularly use salted cod does it add anything extra by using it apart from it being salty lol..anyway last time i used salted cod the smell of it heaved me. im a use fresh cod flakes next time without all dried and salted buisness.. blessings.
love your tutorial but question I'm wondering I received some akee from Jamaica and it was already boiled and frozen how do u prepare it....... should I let the ackee thaw out completely or I don't have to
If you have not yet gotten the information, I would suggest that you let it thaw before cooking or it may get too mushy, especially if it is the softer "butter" ackee
Dread jus boil the Salt Fish with the skin and the skin will come off easily. Don't work hard work smart. Ackee in the can is already boiled. Love your Vedio anyway .Big up. Number one.
It has a very different taste, it has the consistency of a a starchy scrambled egg but without any egg flavor. It almost has a slight nutty taste, slight. You will have to try it for yourself.
Hey Ras...for those of us with electric stove tell us the temperature setting as high, medium or low so we can follow you better....saying 4, 5 or 6 sometimes confuses us....keep cooking great meals...Bless.
Wow I'd sure like to buy one of those akee seed from you. I'm going to see if where I live, I can plant it. The weather here should do for growing it well.
+Katie E The name of what is inside the ackee fruit; that I cleaned out, I do not know. I wouldn't worry about it, just be sure it's cleaned out.... Some fruit might not need cleaning out. Just make sure nothing is between the ackee fruit before cooking.... The waste is just a little orange red think that grows within the ackee fruit, maybe use for POLLINATION. So it's probably called a pollen. I saw green Jamaican pirates eating ackee fruits on the tree on our Island in the Caribbean, occasionally. So I guess it's for them..
lov's salt fish, have lot's in the fridge i caught last month and salted myself , have lots of fresh to, we have it with potato's and salt pork cut into squares and fried brown and sprinked over the fish and potato's
The taste is very unique to the ackee fruit. However it feels like butter in your mouth. The only thing I can say it taste good with rice, greens bananas, bread, breadfruit, yam, etc, Jamaicans eat ackee at breakfast time, mainly.
When I buy salt-fish here in England, it says on the packet to soak the fish for about 4 hours before boiling. Is this different salt-fish? Not seen fresh ackee here but the can is right below the salt-fish in the store :) I never thought to look for coconut oil but this should taste better than sunflower oil. One more question. Do you eat this as a starter or if you have it as a main what do you serve with it to make it more filling. Rice? Thanks
It depends, u can eat it for breakfast with roast bread fruit or bread or fried dumplings or u can eat it for dinner with rice or ground food/provision. You can improvise and ear ackee with srips of already cook jerked chicken breast or with bacon bits or ham. I love ackee and saltfish and at christmas time ackee and ham.
Am from Jamaica and I live abroad so I make the Acker in the can only grace one I have use n have boil my Acker over with two green pepper skellion, premento, seed salt but I don't put water in mine never see that before but I guest everyone cook different how they learned too
You type like you're African. Jamaicans usually know how to use "I'm" and "am". I see so many Africans who mix those two up. You also spelled all of the Jamaican cooking ingredients wrong. No Jamaican would misspell those type of words.
Ackee fruit is not sweet, it more like butter with a unique flavor; it is good with roasted breadfruit, bread, boiled hard starchy foods or rice. Ackee is prepared many ways.
Would you please explain the pimento? (I think it is American allspice but I cannot remember) My friend and neighbor made this dish all of the time. She served it w/ pigeon peas and rice dish that was to die for. She would laugh because all of the way across the street, I KNEW when she was making it and I would shamelessly beg for a plate.
One thing you haven't tried take dried small shrimp with the vegetables and get it dark with all flour lemon juice it brings the ackee out tried it with swordfish
WOW I LOVE YOUR VIDEO !! YOU CALL CODFISH SALTFISH ?? I WANT TO GROW SOME AKEE,AND I AM IN MIAMI, FL.. , I AM ALSO GROWING LYCHEE AND NOW MAMEY FRUIT !! STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO !!
I like to add a little water cover the pot for about 5 minutes, why I want the ackee to pick up the flavor of the seasonings and the uncut pepper to soak . I love the flavor of the pepper the scotch bonnet but not the heat. The extra dry ingredients is not necessary.
+Janet Garvin Ms. Janet - no disrespect to this man - but you do not need to cook canned ackee. It is fully cooked in the can. Rinse and add at the end and just warm through. This is all we use as we are not blessed to have fresh ackee
It's not a good spoon to us. I never used it after the first time. I see little white stuff growing on it after a while. Buy stainless utensils.(fork, knife, and spoon).
+Kenya Rainey If you opened a can of ackee and did not use all of it, Yes! However, leave it in the can until ready to use. Ackee can stay in the can forever probably..
+Jamaican Food - Jamaican Dinners - Video Network PS don' t ever freeze any food in can....Meaning don't ever put the can with food in the freezer...That can poison you!
be carefuuuuuuulllll lol...idk...thanks guy...i want make this meal because i know of about 20-30 trees in my town.. always scared to make it though...

Narrator has a soothing voice. This is a very useful video for someone who has never seen ackee fruit before, like me.
I was thinking this as well. I don't even know what's going on, I was just listening to it in the background because I got busy doing something else, but that voice is so relaxing.

I may be an Irish guy from NY but this is one of my dishes in the world. Well done my brother.

Won't the saltfish boiled with the Ackee make the Ackee to salty? OK ingredients though for the whole dish.
luv this dish...... tasty
Thanks for the advise. I have used electric stove. just go down a gauge.
What is the third herb you put in. I couldn't hear. You put thyme, basil and...?
I think it's dried parsley
Nobody puts basil and parsley in Jamaican food. Those are Italian herbs.
I live in the USA- I have been wanting to try a FRESH Ackee (love the danger, makes me want it)- can the seeds be bought and shipped ?
Yes, The real question is authorization, and if it can grow in your region?
I have never seen anyone cook ackee and saltfish like that
But to each is own
Agreed and he didn't show us that he rinse the fish before cooking it. multiple times as it is too dam salty

I like to add a little water cover the pot for about 5 minutes, why I want the ackee to pick up the flavor of the seasonings and the uncut pepper to soak . I love the flavor of the pepper the scotch bonnet but not the heat. The extra dry ingredients is not necessary.
so how does dis ackee taste please?
Good stuff
So you should boil achee even if it's in the can?
Yes cook it!, I do not belief the ackee fruits were cooked before canning by the industries. Therefore you need to cook it until tenderized.
Thank you so much sweetie😘
+Janet Garvin Ms. Janet - no disrespect to this man - but you do not need to cook canned ackee. It is fully cooked in the can. Rinse and add at the end and just warm through. This is all we use as we are not blessed to have fresh ackee
I want that spoon! Lol
It's not a good spoon to us. I never used it after the first time. I see little white stuff growing on it after a while. Buy stainless utensils.(fork, knife, and spoon).
I miss dat dish
Ini hampir sama dengan indonesia.. ada ikan asinnya juga hehehe
Is there a reason why tomato is not used to fry up the ackees?
Hi. Can you freeze canned ackee ?
+Kenya Rainey If you opened a can of ackee and did not use all of it, Yes! However, leave it in the can until ready to use. Ackee can stay in the can forever probably..
+Jamaican Food - Jamaican Dinners - Video Network PS don' t ever freeze any food in can....Meaning don't ever put the can with food in the freezer...That can poison you!
Thanks!

Is Ackee a vegetable or a fruit?
It is a fruit, but it is poisonous if unopened. It has to open natural to release the poinous gas.
Very good ,but missing the tomatoes &bell peppers, add looks & flavor to the ackee and saltfish.😆
