Brown Fish Stew

NOTE: Always consider soaking the fish in dark rum and some whiskey for perhaps 5-6 minutes.

Clean and rinse fish well with hot water and lime juice. Pat dry and marinate with desired spices (example: salt and pepper). Set aside and marinate for 3-4 hours.

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the fish to the skillet and brown on both sides. Remove the fish and carefully pour off the excess oil.

Return the skillet to the stove top. Cook onions, garlic, green pepper, tomatoes, scotch bonnet and thyme. Add remaining ingredients and stir.

Raise the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and add the fish. Cook until sauce is thickened.
