I only found the canned version. I bought it from the owner of a Jamaican restaurant. I was happy to have just a can. Lol! I got saltfish from him as well. I think he actually sourced them from the UK. I've seen saltfish here but it's not as fleshy.
Ackee goes well with bacon. Now you have me thinking about "corn pork". Loved it!
When I visit Jamaica, I literally go with a food list and check as I consume. I send the list to my mother in advance to make sure we’re on the same page. Lol!
