Saltfish originates in the choppy seas of Northern Europe and Eastern Canada. It was first introduced to the Caribbean in the 16th century.
Vessels from North America, mainly Canada would come bringing lumber and They would then return to their homeland with Caribbean molasses, rum, sugar, and salt. Saltfish and green bananas were a tasty and incredibly cost effective way for people to eat when they had little to no money.
