Aromatic Bermudian Pan-Fried Fish Skillet

Assemble the ingredients: fish, tomato, water, bay leaf, bell pepper, cumin, salt.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the fish and cook until pan-fried.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Bermudian flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Bermudian accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
