Sandi F,
Here's G2's recipe for fish tea, you can compare your's to her's and make adjustments as you want.
(I use red snapper, G2 will come tell you what else can use, as I have only used snapper.)

Fish Soup (Tea)

1 lb fish or the head
water to cover fish 2 quarts or so
3 stalk escallion
1 small sweet potato (de JA one)
1/2 teaspoon anise seed (A MUST)
2 cloves garlic
3 sprig thyme
scotch bonnet
green banana
1 small carrot cut up small
spinners
salt and pepper to taste about a 1/2 teaspoon
2 tablespoon margarine

Cover the fish with water in a pressure cooker add garlic, presser for 20 mins. now if yu dont have a pressure cooker boil for 1 hour don't stir, just check if enough water and add more. After the 20 mins or 1 hour remove fish from water put on a plate to cool down. To the water add banana, spinners, potato boil on medium heat, while that is going on, you are gonna take EVERY bone from the fish, dont leave one bone, add the fish to the food.
Add the seasoning, boil for another 1hrs. Stir often. Mash out potato. Taste adjust seasoning, serve hot. Lawd mi waan some now, enjoy!

Re: Fish Tea

I use eggplant in almost every thing I cook - I'll peel it and cook it in soup; bake it or fry it. It's really delicious.

Kale and Bok Choy I put in soup also.
