Aki and Saltfish
Aki is a tropical fruit from the breadfruit family, commonly used in Caribbean cuisine, especially for making a popular dish called "Aki and saltfish." Saltfish, or salted cod, is dried and preserved fish that needs soaking to remove excess salt before cooking. In the dish, seasoned saltfish is combined with cooked Aki, often sautéed with vegetables and spices, creating a flavorful, hearty meal. Both ingredients are rich in nutrients and have cultural significance in Caribbean traditional cuisine.
