This is a variation on a classic Jamaican weekend brunch - Escovitch Smelts and Festivals.

 

Escovitch fish, usually whole Snapper or King Fish steaks, smothered with pickled onions and hot peppers, is a staple of Jamaican cuisine, mostly enjoyed on weekends. These smelts were on sale so I decided to use them. Not bad at all!

 

Festivals are very similar to fried dumplings but use cornmeal, as well as flour, and a bit of sugar. The original version, created at Hellshire Beach, used cream soda instead of water, giving it a bit of sweetness.

 

This turned out to be a great tasting meal!
