🇹🇹Smoked Herring and Tomatoes and Coconut Bake is my ultimate comfort food!

Smoked herring is a type of fish that has been smoked over an open flame to give it a deeper, smokier flavor.
I love smoked herring and tomatoes and coconut pot bake because it evokes memories of Trinidad hanging out with my cousins. At our limes, my cousin Jamila is usually the mastermind behind the process and the best at making this combination.
Not surprising, the smoked herring sold in Trinidad includes both the head and skin. This requires extensive preparation including roasting, skinning and removing the fine bones. The bones are removed individually in a painstaking process until patience wanes or hunger threatens.
Fortunately, my super market sells smoked herring filets which eliminates most of the laborious tasks. As a result, I enjoy smoked herring more frequently. I no longer have to wait for the whole family to gather to assist with the process of cleaning the smoked herring.
My dish of Caribbean smoked herring and tomatoes and coconut pot bake is an easy and flavorful combo that will bring a taste of the tropics to your kitchen table. Combining the smoky flavor of the herring with the sweetness of the tomatoes accompanied by the richness of the coconut bake, this dish is sure to be a family favorite.
With just a few simple ingredients and minimal prep time, you can have this delicious meal on the table in no time.

Happy Valentines Day Everyone. Sending you love and hugs!
