Filleted fish is easier to prepare, and frozen fish is often less expensive.

Clean and scale the fish, then make diagonal slashes on both sides.

Marinate the fish with lime juice, garlic, ginger, thyme, and salt for at least 30 minutes.

Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the coconut milk.

Add sliced onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, and carrots to the pot, stirring gently.

Place the marinated fish on top of the vegetable mixture.

Sprinkle black pepper, allspice, and bay leaves over the fish.

Cover the pot and steam the fish for 20-25 minutes until cooked through.

Check for doneness by ensuring the flesh flakes easily with a fork.

Serve hot with rice or festival.
