    Awesome video! Looking forward to trying thus recipe. A few questions... what can be substituted if I've only got regular flour? (If yeast, is an option...what would the measurement be?) And what temperature were the bakes fried at? Was it medium, medium high? Thank you!

      Hi yes! Yeast is great as well
      I would do 2 tsp active dry yeast with the same amount of flour I used

    I'm Jamaican and we do dumpings which is somewhat similar to bakes but I love St.Lucian bakes more! I've had them at St.Lucian cookouts and enjoy it so much. I'll definitely try making this. Thanks!

    Where to get salt fish in Castries?

    @kymtv9137 5 місяців тому

    And salt fish is very salty, so giving it a few good soaks will deplete some salt.

      Just soak down the saltfish with little vinegar it removes majority of the salt.

    Epic failed I a m St Lucian and that’s not how it’s really done St Lucian style. Number #1 Cucumber salad a little oil, fresh crushed garlic, salt, black pepper, squeeze a fresh lime or lemon , some people use vinegar in there instead of lime or the lemon,and you are done . Saltfish is our national dish my grandmother did not do all that extra stuff and her saltfish was delicious. All she did boil the saltfish fish sautéed some hot oil with onions and tomato, add a little black pepper then put in your cut up saltfish . That’s it . That was not bakes , bakes are thicker and smaller, she literally made little floats. There is certainly a difference. Coming from a Lucian with a generations of Lucian blood !!!!!!
