Ackee In A Basin, Jamaica

Ackee, is the national fruit of Jamaica, which is mostly what makes up the national dish: Ackee & sailfish. Ackee, is now a leading cash crop and exported canned ackee from Jamaica can fetch as much as $18 US/ can. Here, freshly picked ackee, sits in a basin before the black seed is extracted and the heart of the fleshy portion is thoroughly cleaned before cooking.
