Clean the snapper and pat dry with paper towels.

Season the snapper with salt, black pepper, and lime juice; let marinate for 30 minutes.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Add the snapper to the skillet and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side; remove and set aside.

In the same skillet, add onion, bell pepper, garlic, and ginger; sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Add thyme, scotch bonnet pepper, and tomatoes; cook until tomatoes soften, about 5 minutes.

Stir in carrots, soy sauce, brown sugar, and a splash of water; bring to a simmer.

Return the snapper to the skillet, spooning sauce over the fish; cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes.

Check for doneness; fish should flake easily with a fork.

Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Serve hot with rice or festival.
