Sposób przygotowania

Krok po kroku

  1. 1

    Wash the whole fish thoroughly with lime juice and water, then pat it completely dry with paper towels.

    Około 5 min

    Wskazówka kucharza: Ensuring the fish is very dry helps achieve a crispy skin.

  2. 2

    Season the fish generously inside and out with salt and black pepper.

    Około 2 min

  3. 3

    Lightly dust the seasoned fish with all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

    Około 2 min

    Wskazówka kucharza: The flour creates a light, crispy coating.

  4. 4

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or deep pot over medium-high heat until it reaches about 175°C (350°F).

    Około 5 min

  5. 5

    Carefully place the floured fish into the hot oil and fry for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

    Około 14 min

    Wskazówka kucharza: Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of your fish. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

  6. 6

    Remove the fried fish from the oil and place it on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

  7. 7

    For the pickling sauce, combine white vinegar, water, sugar, and the pickling sauce salt in a small saucepan.

    Około 2 min

  8. 8

    Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve.

    Około 3 min

  9. 9

    Add the julienned carrot, sliced yellow onion, sliced bell pepper, scotch bonnet pepper, allspice berries, and sliced garlic to the simmering sauce.

    Około 1 min

    Wskazówka kucharza: Use gloves when handling scotch bonnet peppers.

  10. 10

    Simmer the vegetables in the sauce for 2-3 minutes, just until they are slightly softened but still retain some crispness.

    Około 3 min

    Wskazówka kucharza: Do not overcook the vegetables; they should remain vibrant.

  11. 11

    Carefully pour the hot pickling sauce and vegetables over the fried fish, ensuring the fish is well coated.

    Około 2 min

  12. 12

    Let the escovitch fish rest at room temperature for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the fish to absorb the pickling sauce.

    Około 1 godz.

    Wskazówka kucharza: For best results, let it marinate for several hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

  13. 13

    Serve the escovitch fish warm or at room temperature, garnished with extra pickled vegetables if desired.

    Wskazówka kucharza: Traditionally served with hard dough bread or bammy.
