Jamaican Brown Stew Fish

"There's a restaurant near here in South Florida that serves this dish, and they make it soooo good. It has a slightly sweet/tangy flavor that goes really well with the snapper. I decided to try making it myself, but after looking in Recipezaar, I couldn't find the sweet version. I finally found it somewhere else on the web and tweaked it to perfection. Serve with a little salad and rice and peas. For the rice and peas, I recommend recipe # 97745. Hope you like it."

My favorite cuisines are Japanese, Korean and Chinese. I do not eat chicken, pork or beef, just pretty much seafood, tofu and vegetables.
