Fish Kebabs with Yogurt Sauce
This dish has a lot of influence from our Afro-Antillean cuisine, developed by workers brought from the Caribbean Islands to work in the construction of the Panama Canal in the early 20th Century.
Note: This recipe combines dairy with fish. If it is not your custom to eat dairy and fish, omit the Yogurt Sauce, or substitute the Greek yogurt with a non-dairy parve yogurt.
