What Is Fish Tea? The Caribbean Fish Broth Explained
Despite the name, Fish Tea is not a tea. It’s a Caribbean fish broth — a light, intensely flavoured fish soup that’s been a staple of Jamaican street food and home cooking for generations. The name “tea” in Caribbean culture often refers to any hot beverage or thin broth, and fish tea fits the bill: a steaming hot, savoury fish broth that warms from the inside out.
In Jamaica, fish tea is sold by roadside vendors and beach shacks — a restorative, nourishing drink consumed in a cup rather than a bowl. It’s made with fish heads, vegetables, and Caribbean spices, slow-cooked into a rich, flavour-packed broth. Grace’s Fish Tea Mix captures this tradition in a convenient instant format — just add water and you’re five minutes from an authentic Caribbean fish broth experience.
Grace Foods and the Fish Tea Tradition
Grace Foods is Jamaica’s most trusted food brand, having supplied Jamaican and Caribbean households with quality products for over 90 years. Their Fish Tea Mix uses real fish flavouring to recreate the distinctive taste of traditional fish tea — convenient without compromise on flavour. For Jamaicans living in Australia, it’s a taste of home. For Australian cooks, it’s an introduction to one of the Caribbean’s most unique comfort foods.
How to Use Grace Fish Tea Mix
- Add the entire 50g pack to 500ml of cold water in a saucepan.
- Bring to the boil, stirring to fully dissolve the mix.
- Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Serve hot as a broth, or add vegetables and dumplings for a more substantial soup.
Cooking tip: Use Fish Tea Mix as a flavour base for steamed fish — add a sachet to the steaming liquid with fresh herbs, onion, and Scotch bonnet pepper for deeply flavoured Caribbean-style steamed fish.
Beyond the Bowl
Like Cock Soup Mix, Fish Tea Mix is a versatile kitchen ingredient beyond just soup. Use it to season seafood stews and braises, add depth to seafood rice dishes, or as a quick fish stock substitute. It’s the Caribbean cook’s secret weapon for seafood flavour in a pinch.
