In jamaica salted meat such as pigtail, or salt pork belly, fat back or bacon is traditional to be used as the fat for cooking. the salt fish is also added to this... often both are boiled to the point of being tender and the boiling process removed the excess sodium...

also, fried plantains, boiled starch vegetables (potato, yam, dasheen, coco, eddo, and banana are favourites) children love it like that...

@MissChievous911 the people in barbados make some really oily food, as far as i have noticed. jamaicans (at least my family) are being educated about health so butter and oil are being used more sparingly... but basians love thier fritters cooked in lots of oil!

Way too much butter. Never seen anyone putting so much butter in this dish neither in Jamaica nor by my Jamaican friends here in Canada. Btw, most of them use oil instead of butter. Ok, this is not Jamaican ackee and saltfish.

I prefer fresh peppers rather than sauce

Salt fish is very salty, it needs to be soaked in water for about 24 hours before cooking. During the 24 hour period the water has to be changed about three times before the salt fish be just right for cooking. Then the salt fish has to be boiled for about 5 minutes before it is mixed with the Ackee in the sauce pan.
