Mackerel is such an oily, strong tasting fish that it is not to
everyone's tastes but for those those who do like it, I came across
this while researching callaloo.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Jamaican Mackerel Rundown
Categories: Caribbean, Fish, Sauces
Yield: 8 Servings

2 lb Salted/Pickled Mackerel
2 md Coconuts
8 c Water
1 md Onion, sliced
3 Cloves Garlic, chopped
1 md Tomato, chopped
2 Stalks escallion, chopped
3 sl Scotch Bonnet pepper
1 ts Dried Thyme

Whether you call it Mackerel Rundown or Rundown Mackerel, the term
rundown is used to describe a thick sauce made of coconut milk
boiled down with seasonings until it begins to form a custard. You
can use any salted fish, like cod or herring to make a tasty
rundown.

Prep Mackerel (to reduce salt): Remove the bones from Mackerel. Cut
fish into 2-inch to 3-inch pieces and place in bowl. Pour boiling
water over fish until covered; let sit for a half hour. Drain water
and set fish aside.

Make Coconut Milk: Remove flesh from coconuts and cut into small
pieces. Using blender, in four batches, puree coconut with 8 cups of
water. Use strainer to remove and squeeze coconut from water.

Rundown: Pour coconut milk into saucepan and bring to boil. Stir
milk using medium high heat until it reduces to a thick custard and
oil is visible on top. Add onion, garlic, tomato, escallion, scotch
bonnet pepper and thyme to pan and stir. Saute seasonings in
coconut custard until onions are transparent. Add fish, skin side
down, to pan and cover with sauce. Turn heat to low and simmer for
about 10 minutes until fish is cooked.

Serve hot with boiled green bananas and boiled dumplings.

I also remember her telling an adult about the proper hydration of
bread dough when she was barely a year old, "Tree flow. One wa.
Maybe more flow. Jes touch it. You will jes know."

Today she is an excellent all round cook. Most recently she has
been learning how to make Filipina dishes and is now better at it
than her MIL. Even Patrick admits it. Her source for recipes is

killed FIDO. The woman whose recipes she trusts has over 900,000

Yahoo Groups didn't kill FIDO .... and didn't survive the effort. Some
time ago (October 2020) AT&T/Yahoo drove the final nail into the coffin
with the announcement "We must sometimes make difficult decisions
regarding products that no longer fit our long-term strategy as we hone
our focus on other areas of the business, starting Dec. 15, the Yahoo
Groups website will be inaccessible as will its services, including
sending and receiving emails." (IOW - there's no $$$ in it anymore.)

My only (former) Yahoo group in which I still participate has moved to "groups.io" Which seems to be humming along nicely. Google also has its
"Google Groups" which, AFAIK is still available.

FIDO is as close as I feel I need to be in "social media". The only use
I have for Pinterest is in going through it when chasing a recipe. So I
am "registered" but that's about it.

I've used it for finding wood carving ideas. Sometimes patterns are shared. Other then that facebook for the memes and pictures of grand kid, and the BBS for actually talking about things.
