Instructions

Rub the scored snapper inside and out with the lime juice and salt, then let it sit for 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

In a wide skillet, layer the onion, garlic, thyme, pimento berries, and 1 cup of water, then bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- 3
Lay the whole fish into the skillet, top with the carrots, okra, and whole Scotch bonnet, then dot with butter and cover tightly.
- 4
Steam for 12 to 15 minutes, spooning the broth over the fish midway, until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily near the bone.

Discard the Scotch bonnet, adjust salt to taste, and serve the fish with its broth and vegetables alongside crackers or boiled bananas.
