We've spanned the globe in our fish cake journeys, from exotic Thailand, to the culinary kings on the Mediterranean, to the rocky shores of New England, right here in the US of A. Now we move to the island of Jamaica, a culinary powerhouse in the Caribbean. Their famous jerk sauce is highlighted here, that captivating blend of smoky and sweet, which elevates these fish cakes to an entirely different level of flavor. No doubt, we'll continue our Fish Cake World Tour, but so far, Jamaica may be our favorite stop.
