Has anyone found decent substitutes for these guys? Like to make the spicy pumpkin shrimp soup at least once a month for the kids and occasionally for coworkers and I'm running out of supplies from the rock.

I can get these in the supermarkets here in NY, or at least the Cock and other Grace products. I'm sure if I went to Utica Avenue in Brooklyn I can find anything due to the huge Jamaican community. If you can't find them I can send you a few packs to keep the kiddies well fed.
Go Bills!
My recipe:
"Linston ask Mama (Izel) fe make some soup for tonight"

If you're in Jamaica the HiLo has everything you need except I try to by fresh shrimp from the fish market, and pumpkins from the veggie truck guy.

You could just stock up on your next visit. I plan on doing that next time. I live in KY/Indiana and most of that kind of stuff is hard to get here.
Irine, that sounds amazing!! Would you be willing to share your recipe?
Let me print it out here when I have a bit of time over the weekend. A Jamaican friend of mine came to my condo at point village after bugging him for 2 years and finally showed me how to make it. It's easy and so so good! You will love it.
Stay tuned!!
Hey Irine! How's everything going? Any update on the recipe? No rush. Just was thinking about trying a new recipe and thought of our convo. Thanks a ton!
Try your local Walmart. Mine has a a small section of these Jamaican products, as well as others. Ting, crackers, festival mix, ginger beer, canned ackee, callaloo, mackarel, etc. also carries a line of the various bottled sauces.
