Crispy fried fish with a tangy and spicy pickel packed between a warm toasted bun.
Jamaican escovitch fish, is a dish where fried fish is topped with a spicy sauce and pickled vegetable medley usually made up of onion, carrots, vinegar, scotch bonnet pepper, and pimento. Serves with bread, festival or bammies.. This is one of my favourite dishes to have because of the spice and the flavours from all the vegetables; and also to make. So since we’re in the summer eason where its all about burgers and sandwiches; I’ve decided to make a quick fish sandwich and I end up making this delcious sandwich. For some extra goodness try this with a cold red stripe beer. Hope you enjoy my Escovitch Fish Sandwich Recipe
