House of Jerk

Via Village Voice:

1060 Fulton, Prospect Heights, 718-623-5499

Though the name makes it sound like a National Lampoon movie, H of J is one of the most formidable Jamaican carryouts in Brooklyn, with a more complete menu of roots cuisine, including thick sweet cornmeal pudding, meat and fish cook-ups, and ackee and saltcod. The fish soup is especially fantastic, with a roster of ingredients that runs to christophene, taro, potato, and carrot in a fish fumet worthy of bouillabaisse. Beckoning you in the right direction is a plume of barbecue smoke, which drifts up Classon, crosses over Fulton, and heads toward Clinton Hill, betokening jerk chicken well coated with spices.
