Cut the breadfruit into quarters.

Steam the breadfruit with about 2 cups of water for about 30 minutes.

Add the diced breadfruit to a food processor and blend, adding warm water and some leftover steaming water until smooth.

Season the mixture with a little salt while blending.

Prepare the smoke herring by boiling it in water for about 15-20 minutes, changing the water twice.

Flake the boiled smoke herring and sauté it with fresh seasonings (onion, garlic, parsley, bell peppers, seasoning peppers) for 2-3 minutes.

Add ketchup to the sautéed smoke herring if desired.

Assemble the breadfruit balls by sectioning off a piece of the mashed breadfruit, flattening it, adding a teaspoon of smoke herring in the center, and shaping it into a ball.

Coat the shaped balls in breadcrumbs.

Fry the breadfruit balls in vegetable oil, gradually placing them in the hot oil and frying until they reach a desired brown color, about 2 minutes per side.
