JAMAICAN STYLE ESCOVITCH OF FISH WITH PICKLED VEGETABLES
Steps:
- In a medium nonreactive saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons of the salt, pickling spice, bell peppers, onion, garlic, and Scotch bonnet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and skim any foam that rises to the top. Simmer vegetables for 2 minutes; remove from heat and set aside until warm before serving. (Pickled vegetables may be made up to 3 days in advance and refrigerated in a nonreactive container until ready to serve. May be served warm or cold.)
- When you are ready to cook the fish, place the fillets on a nonreactive plate or platter and squeeze the lime juice over the fillets. Let sit for several minutes then pat fillets dry. Season well on both sides with salt and freshly ground white pepper. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, Essence, remaining 2 teaspoons of salt, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and white pepper and stir to combine. Dredge the fillets in the seasoned flour mixture and shake to release any excess.
- Heat the oil in a large saute pan and, when hot, add the fish and cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. (This will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets you are using.) Transfer fillets to a platter and spoon some of the pickled vegetables with pickling liquid over the fish. Serve immediately.
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

ESCOVITCH FISH
In Jamaica, escovitch is fish rubbed with garlic and allspice, shallow-fried until the skin crisps, then doused with hot vinegar, carrots, onions and wicked Scotch bonnets, all swirled together and bubbling. Leave the dish out at room temperature, the better for the vinegar to work its alchemy, creating not so much a sauce as sheer lushness. Francine Turone's mother would make escovitch in the morning and let it sit all day on the counter, the flavors intensifying with each hour. Come dinnertime, little effort was required beyond putting out plates - which makes it ideal, Ms. Turone says, when cooking for friends: "You can make it and then go away." Her version allows for boneless fillets instead of the traditional whole fish, and includes an unexpected ingredient, raisins, inspired by travels with her Italian husband and transposed from a Venetian snack of deep-fried sardines in vinegar.

Steps:
- Make the fish: Set the fish on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Rub the cut lime all over the fish. Let the fish drain on the paper towels, then pat thoroughly dry.
- In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and ground allspice, if using. Take two-thirds of this seasoning and rub it all over the fish. If using thicker fillets, cut small slits on both sides and rub the seasoning into the slits. In a shallow dish, mix the remaining seasoning with the flour for dusting the fish later.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add 1/2 inch of oil, just enough to fry one side of the fish at a time. (The fish should not be submerged in oil.) Add the garlic to the skillet, along with the chiles and whole allspice berries, if using.
- Lightly coat the fish on both sides with the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. When the oil is hot, carefully lay the fish in the pan skin side down, making sure to leave space between the fillets and working in batches if needed. Let cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then turn the fish over and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until the skin is crispy. The fish should be cooked only about 80 percent of the way through, as the residual heat will continue to cook it after it's removed from the pan.
- Set the cooked fish skin side up in a large rimmed dish that can fit all the fish without any overlap. Keep the dish close to the stove.
- Make the topping: Pour all the oil and solids in the skillet into a bowl or measuring cup. Add 1 tablespoon of that oil to the skillet (discard the rest) and heat over medium-low. Add the onion, carrot, chayote, Scotch bonnets and allspice berries, if using. Cook, stirring often, for 2 to 3 minutes. Don't let the vegetables get too soft; they should still have a little bite to them.
- Raise the heat to high, and add the vinegar and chopped raisins, if using. Working quickly before the vinegar reduces completely, swirl the pan to tumble together the ingredients and then carefully pour the hot bubbling mixture evenly over the fish. It should not swamp the fish, but reach only about a quarter of the way up the sides. Immediately and tightly cover the dish with foil.
- Leave the dish on the counter out of direct sunlight for at least an hour or up to 12 hours, so the fish has time to absorb all the flavors. (It gets better the longer it sits.) Do not refrigerate before serving: The fish is meant to be eaten at room temperature. Serve with the bread for mopping up the sauce. Leftovers may be refrigerated overnight and gently reheated in a pan over low heat to loosen the sauce.

- Pour away the oil in the frying leaving about 1 tbsp. On low heat, add the onion, the rest of the pimento berries, the slice scotch bonnet pepper, carrot strips and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the vinegar and brown sugar, cook for another 2-3 minutes
- Pour over the fried fish and leave to absorb the flavour.

ESCOVEITCHED FISH
Jamaican recipe, very popular dish for fish, which can be served for any of the three meals. "Escoveitch" comes from escabeche, Spanish for "pickled." There are many variations of this Jamaican recipe, popular in Cayman too, that evolved from a centuries old Spanish and Portuguese method of preparing seafood and poultry. Tilapia is perfect for this delicious, spicy recipe that's popular all day long, from breakfast to late night snack. You can also use cleaned small whole fish such as grunts, Jack Cutlass, sprats, goat fish or snappers, or any kind of fish fillets or steaks, such as wahoo, king fish, or dolphin. It should be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated to get the maximum flavor from spices, but served at room temperature. Old recipes tell you not to refrigerate the fish, to let it marinate at room temperature, but I think this is risky anywhere, especially in the tropics. It is delicious made from any fish. Serve with bammies (made from cassava root), a nice salad, some of the marinade and a nice cold beer. Allow to marinate for at least 8 hours or overnight. I received the seasoning salt as a gift a while back and it says it is sea salt with an attitude! I have eaten it both with the head and tail left on and with the filets -- personal preference, I don't like anything left on that I can't eat or looking back at me.

Steps:
- FISH:.
- Rinse the Tilapia filets with water and sprinkle generously with lime juice.
- Let sit for 20 minutes.
- Pat dry and sprinkle each piece generously with seasoned salt and black pepper.
- Pour the flour into a shallow bowl and dredge each piece lightly, shaking off excess.
- Set aside.
- Heat about 1/2 inch of peanut oil in a frying pan until hot (but not smoking) and fry fish until light golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
- Remove fish and drain on paper towels, then arrange in a single layer in glass dish.
- MARINADE:.
- In a non-reactive saucepan, combine all remaining ingredients, from vinegar to black peppercorns, and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for about five minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
- Remove from heat and cool to lukewarm, about 20 minutes, then pour 3/4 marinade over the fish. (If you add it while still very hot, it will cook the fish more and turn it to mush.).
- Arrange fish so all pieces are evenly covered with mixture.
- Allow to marinate for at least eight hours or overnight in refrigerator, but serve at room temperature.
- When serving fish, serve the remaining marinade on the side.
