Easter in Haiti: Dishes Found on Every Table

Easter in Haïti is both spiritual and convivial. It is a time of contemplation for many, but also a sacred occasion to gather with family around a special meal, respectful of the religious traditions of Lent. During this period, meat disappears from the plates, replaced by fish, especially cod, in an explosion of typically Haitian flavors.

1. Fish, the King of Easter Meals

Whether fresh fish, fried or grilled, or salted cod prepared Creole-style, fish is at the heart of the Easter culinary tradition. Well-seasoned, flavored with local spices, lemon, chili pepper, and sometimes accompanied by an onion sauce, it is often the centerpiece of the Holy Week meal.

2. Rice and Russian Salad

It’s impossible to talk about a Haitian meal without mentioning rice. At Easter, white or lightly seasoned rice is often served to complement the fish.

Alongside, a generous portion of Russian salad adds freshness and creaminess:

Potatoes

Carrots

Peas

Mayonnaise

and beets

3. Boiled Banana and Cod

In some families, boiled bananas (green plantains) are served with cod sautéed with onions, peppers, parsley, and a little oil.
