    Pusandao de PescadoPin

    This Pusandao de Pescado is a traditional Colombian dish is from Tumaco, a port city located on the Pacific Ocean. Fresh fish, coconut milk, Colombian herbs, spices,Yuca, plantain and potatoes. What's not to love?

    It's Colombian cooking at it's simple and full of flavor. Serve over plain white rice and add some lime juice. You are going to love this dish!I made my pusundao with sworfish, but the dish is traditionally made with bagre (catfish).

    Buen provecho!

      Fabulous! I am already printing this out to try with some marlin steaks in my freezer! I love the addition of plantains and yuca, and coconut milk makes such a rich, creamy sauce when served with rice. 😎

      WOW was this good! My wife loved this for its "comfort food" quality, but I could have used a little more spice. Also, I used cod instead of swordfish. I'm wondering if I used paprika instead of the achiote would it give me both some color and some spice, but the mrs told me not to change the recipe. It's a definite keeper. Thanks for the great recipe and keep them coming!
