When I first became vegan I thought I would miss traditional dishes that my mother used to make. At the top of my list was Ackee and Saltfish. As it turns out, the best part of ackee and saltfish is the ackee. When I took my first bite of this vegan version of one of my childhood favorites, I didn't miss the fish at all.
