bahamian steamed fish
I wouldn't call this steamed fish but it seems that they do in the Bahama's. No matter what's it's called it's a very tasty and healthy meal. In the islands everybody has their own recipe for steamed fish (or pork chops, chicken, crawfish etc.. ) and the sauce is basically the same for all. As there are no given amounts use as much or as little as you want and need feed the number of people at your table.
