TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO
Advance Preparation: 2 to 4 hours for marinating the fish
One of the most popular dishes in Trinidad is shark and bake, a shark steak marinated in "seasoning" (a tangy tincture of chiles and West Indian herbs), then deep-fried and served on a puffy pillow of fried bread, called a "bake." The combination is so flavorful, Trinidadians eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and between-meal snacks.
Much as I enjoyed the traditional preparation, I couldn’t help thinking it would be tasty-and healthier-if the ingredients were grilled. After all, the firm texture of shark makes it ideal for grilling. And grilled bread is a part of Indian cooking, which certainly inspired many Trinidadian dishes.
