from a friend...
Favorite recipe. That's tough. Lately I've been eating saltfish and plaintains when I want something filling. You used to be able to buy corned baca in Crooked Tree if you knew one of the old heads, but they are all gone now. There was also a guy in Shipstern who made some nice corned jacks. Otherwise I don't know where youw ould even find saltfish in Belize now. Maybe Gales Point or Monkey River.
Recipe: Saltfish and Plantains
1lb Saltfish (Salted Cod), pre-soaked in hot water for 2 hours 2 lbs unripe plantains or green bananas, peeled and cut into 4 inch sections 12 oz of coconut milk (1 can) 3 whole allspice seeds 2 bay leaves 2 oz. Flour 3 tablespoons coconut oil, vegetable oil, or shortening
Drain the saltfish – if it is still hard and salty, boil for 10 minutes in fresh water to soften further In a large heavy frying pan or the bottom of a large pot, make a roux by frying the flour in the oil until medium brown – not as dark as the shell of a ripe coconut. Remove and cool. Put the coconut milk in the pot Add the allspice and bay leaf; you can also put in up to ˝ pound of okra, a chopped small onion, a few cocoyams, and garlic if you wish Add the plantain or banana and bring to a steady simmer until they are beginning to get soft Add the fish – you may need to add water or another 12 oz of coconut milk at this point Cook another 15 minutes and serve in bowls

1 lb Belize chicken, deboned, or fresh Belize seafood of any type, cut into 2" chunks;
Juice of 1-2 fresh Belize limes;

Belize coconut oil or other mild fat;
1 sweet bell pepper, sliced;
1 small onion, sliced
1 habanero, minced;
hand full of fresh cilantro, torn or chopped;
1 Tablespoon Belize cane sugar.
Heat oil in medium pan over medium to high heat; add curry powder and cook 1 minute stirring constantly.
Add bell and habanero peppers and onions and cook until translucent and covered with curry;
Add coconut milk and sugar and bring all to boil, stir bottom of pot to coat all evenly;
Add chicken or fish and bring back to boil and then reduce heat to simmer if chicken for 10 minutes; for fish, turn off heat and let sit for 10 minutes.
