Parrotfish is a colorful reef fish with vibrant scales and a beak-like mouth that gives it its name. Known for its tender, flaky meat and slightly sweet flavor, parrotfish is popular in brown stew, where it’s simmered in a rich, savory tomato-based sauce with thyme, garlic, and Scotch bonnet peppers. It’s also excellent grilled or fried, with a texture that holds up well to seasoning. Locals sometimes believe it contributes to vitality and health.
