Fish Tea Soup

I know it sounds gross, but actually Fish Tea (because all it is bascially is water and fish) is very nutrious. Once you had some island spice and flavoring to the water, you will love this recipe.

1 lb Fish Fillet

2 sprig Thyme

1 medium Onion

4 pimento balls (Allspice)

1/2 tbsp Salt

1 tbsp Garlic (minced)

3 stalks Scallion

1 tbsp Butter

1 tsp. Black Pepper

4 Green Bananas

2 Qt. Water

In a stock pot, add fish, onion, thyme, and salt. Cook the fish for about ten minutes. Mean while wash green bananas and then cut each banana into halves.

Next use a strainer to remove the fish from the pot before the pieces get separated. Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot, except the butter. Cook for another ten minutes then check to see if the green bananas are soft. If not, wait until they are and then add butter and fish. Simmer for another ten minutes.

Serve in 8 oz cups.
