Steamed Fish with Stir Fried Veggies

All I can say is this Steamed Fish with Stir Fried Veggies is truly an original recipe from Simply Trini Cooking, which grew from necessity and what was available in the fridge at the time. Funny and desperate as the situation may have seemed at the time, it became an instant hit at home, and I was always asking my wife for the “fish recipe” for lunch.

Steamed Fish with Stir Fried Veggies

Another point noted was that I really had a hard time wondering what I should name this dish since it borrowed a bit from Chinese cooking mixed in with a bit of Trini cooking. But, definitely we couldn’t call it a Chinese dish so I opted for “Steamed fish with stir fried veggies”

So just in time for the New Year here’s a wonderful fish recipe you can add to your New Years Day Lunch lineup…I know I will be having some of this for sure. I’m always in awe with the colour the sweet peppers add to this dish. 🙂

Here’s steamed fish with stir fried veggies!
