Trini Stewed Fish with Knorr Mexican Rice

• Save

Its been a while since I had some stew fish and I figured a nice spicy and citrus Trini Stewed Fish would pair well with the zesty flavor of the Knorr Mexican Rice. The finished product is a perfectly stewed fish with the tangy flavors of the tomato, citrus vibes from the lime juice, heat from the pepper, fresh herb action from the chadon beni and everything come together with the creaminess of the coconut milk. If this is not Caribbean cooking then I dunno what is. This is definitely a winner in my books.
