I am a Jamaican. Ackee and saltfish taste better without garlic and allspice. Finely chopped escallion can be used instead of onions;or it can be an additional seasoning with less onions.Use a small amount of fresh not canned tomatoes. (Tomatoes take away the flavour of the ackee. I prefer not to use it). Ackee is served best with fried dumplings, boiled yams, boiled green bananas and fried ripe plantains.
