Peel and chop the breadfruit into chunks.

Boil the breadfruit in salted water until tender, about 20-25 minutes.

Drain the breadfruit and allow it to cool slightly before mashing.

In a pot, bring water to a boil and gradually stir in the cornmeal, whisking to prevent lumps.

Add mashed breadfruit to the cornmeal mixture and stir until well combined.

Season with salt, black pepper, thyme, and chopped scallions; cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently.

Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes to firm up.

Meanwhile, season the red snapper with lime juice, salt, and cayenne pepper.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat and pan-fry the snapper until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Remove the snapper and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Serve the cou cou on a plate with the red snapper on top, garnished with fresh tomato, bell pepper, curry bodi, and greens.
