Pour off the water from the salted mackerel that has been soaked in water with vinegar to remove excess salt.

Boil the mackerel in a pot of water for about 2-3 times to remove excess salt, changing the water each time.

In a separate pot, pour in 5 cups of freshly grated coconut milk and bring to a high heat until boiling.

Add the scotch bonnet pepper, garlic, and ground pimento to the boiling coconut milk and stir.

Once the coconut milk reaches a rough boil, add the diced onion, bell peppers, thyme, and tomatoes to the pot.

Allow the mixture to boil and flavor the coconut milk while the mackerel is boiling.

Prepare ground provisions by boiling water and adding yams and sweet potatoes first, followed by dumplings and boiled bananas last.

After boiling the mackerel, rinse it off and add it to the coconut milk mixture, stirring gently.

Let the mackerel simmer in the coconut milk for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Taste the coconut milk and adjust seasoning with black pepper and all-purpose seasoning before serving.
