Only in Bermuda: codfish breakfast

Smoked fish and onion for breakfast: I tried it so you don’t have to.

If you visit any decent restaurant in Bermuda you will notice a curious item on the menu: traditional codfish breakfast.

It’s no ordinary plate of fish either – it’s fish with boiled potatoes, hardboiled egg, avocado and a banana. Exact ingredients vary, sometimes you get mango salsa, sometimes tomato sauce but the basics are the same – fish and potatoes for breakfast.

Better ask for a mint afterwards.

This particular specimen of codfish breakfast is from Bouche, a lovely French brunch place with their own twist on the Bermudian classic – sauce of onion and butter and side of Johnny bread.

Certainly an interesting culinary experience – while the slightly smoked fish goes very well with the onion and buttery sauce things get a bit weird when combined with sweet banana and Johnny bread (which is a bit like a scone). Not for the faint hearted, or stomached.
