Fish And Fungi British Virgin Islands Recipes
FISH AND FUNGI (BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS)
This recipe was featured on week 37 of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and the British Virgin Islands is my 37th stop. Unless otherwise noted, my Travel by Stove recipes are taken from authentic or traditional sources, and this recipe has been posted without any alternations or additions to the ingredients. Personal note: I thought this dish was pretty bland, and probably would not make it again.

Steps:
- To make the fish, put all the ingredients into a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat, simmering for 20 to 30 minutes or until the fish flakes with a fork. Garnish with sliced lime.

- In a separate bowl, blend 2 tbsp of the cornmeal with about 6 tbsp water. Pour into the pot with the boiling water and okra and let cook for one minute.
- Slowly pour the rest of the cornmeal into the pan, stirring constantly. Add the butter and salt and pepper, continuing to cook for 5 minutes. Serve hot.

FUNGI
A staple on dinner tables in the Virgin Islands, this filling, earthy side dish goes well with fish or any stewed protein. In St. Thomas, you can find it accompanying tender stewed snapper or butter-braised conch, acting as a sponge for luscious sauces. Here, chef Julius Jackson, author of "My Modern Caribbean Kitchen" (Page Street Publishing, 2018) and native Virgin Islander, offers a simple, traditional version. This dish isn't an exact science; some people like it so thick it stands up on its own, while others prefer it thinner, with runny lines of butter. Find which way works best for you by tasting and tweaking as needed. Chilled leftover fungi can be cut into squares and pan-fried in a bit of oil until golden, making a great base for scrambled or poached eggs with bacon on the side.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, bring 2 1/4 cups water to a boil over medium-high.
- When water reaches a rolling boil, add okra and 2 teaspoons salt. Cook over medium-high until softened, about 4 minutes.
- Slowly and carefully, pour half the cornmeal into the water while whisking to prevent lumps. It will get very thick very quickly.
- Once the mixture is smooth, add the remaining cornmeal and the butter, whisking vigorously to combine.
- When smooth, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. If you'd like it a little thinner, whisk additional water into the mixture. Serve hot.
