When I used to live in Florida my Jamaica Neighbor cook this type of meal. She was very sweet Elder woman. She notice I was interested in what she was doing. She said, keep coming around I will teach you. I learned how to plant Sugar Cane.
In Jamaica we use mainly fish seasonings (brands like Maggi OR Grace OR Island Spice which we export and are sold globally) when preparing seafood. For the sauce we only use vinegar, pimento, carrots, onions, garlic, scotch bonnet pepper (NO sugar, allspice, black pepper or salt). We dont stuff the fish when doing escovitch, only when roasting or steaming and we use okra's and callaloo (spinach is similar to callaloo). If people listen carefully they will understand that he is showing people how he cooks it for himself to suit his own taste. Its still a good video, good recipe and hes a great chef.
Travis Toh Toh Yes. Was gonna make that same comment about stuffing the fish. Not sure about thyme for this type of fish.. I'm thinkng it would spoil the flavor for ME. Escoveitch is all about the SAUCE with those onions and PEPPA!!! Nooooo thyme on escoveitch.. respectfully. 😌
I found your website years ago and used to look at it regularly. Your recipes always turns out great. I forgot how to do escovitch fish and was looking for your site again and came across this. Thank you for all your help.
man, I love your recipes THE BEST because you make everything SO easy to follow and keep it simple. and, lawd a mercy, does your stuff taste goood!!!! thank you for teaching me how to cook and how to make yummy caribbean dishes! -yankee girl who loves west indian food
Love all your recipes. Used to just read them. Now will follow the videos. Even my mum thinks my food tastes authentic now before she used to complain everything was tasteless.
I'm so glad you explained where the heat from the pepper comes from. There's a misconception that the heat come from the seeds, but the seeds are only hot when it touches that part of the pepper.
Boil cinnamon sticks while you fry to avoid the fishy smell in your house... But nice base recipe leaves room to tweek it like a lot of the best recipes do!!! Keep up the great work!!!
I have been looking for a recipe. Now, I have found it. I will fix this on Saturday. Looks yummy and the recipe does not look too difficult or time consuming. Thanks Chris for delivering once again!
I have been searching high and low for a GOOD recipe for this dish. My mother had it when she was in the islands vacationing some years ago and has been talking about it since. I told her about this recipe and she got excited! LOL...I will definitely be putting this together for her. As always, you're the best, Chris!
Hi Chris, I'm going to Tobago to work for the a month so I'm looking at all your fish recipes for ideas cuz there's a whole lot of fish in Tobago and I never cooked/handled fish before. Thanks for tips! You're the BEST!
New Mac pie recipe is a must..ok, I've made this on the gril all on one pot and it was delicious but now that I think escovich should be fried fish with the sauce on top I guess.. love the other method but I love your vids and must say you have turned me into a cook plus I can't knock it till I try it so I will give it a go soon, you haven't steered me wring yet...thnx Chris
critanand from mauritis island hey cris you look like me man iam an indian origin borne in mauritius you look like an indian too thanks for this recipes i saw that a few days ago jamican mike were cooking for captain nick i did not undustand very well so i was checking in u tube and i saw you thank you very much
my mother in law makes this and it's so addictive that I'm gonna try to make it.. this delicious sauce will go great with any Jamaican dish... yum I'm dying 😍
OMG! Thank you so much. I love this preparation. It's so expensive to go and buy it from the restaurant here, so I have to make it myself. I will be trying this really soon!!!
Chris, you should try Himalayan pink salt in your recipies. It is 100% pure salt that has less sodium then table salt and twice the mineral content, Our ancesters have used this salt for thousands of years. You mentioned in another video that you are using less salt. Love your work and respect your craft.
Hey Chris, I just happen to have a whole shaker of Pimento berries. I occasionally give it a good shake, then open it and have a GOOD sniff. The spicy aroma is just AMAZING! I can see why whole Pimento berries are preferred.
Hey Chris! I really enjoy your videos! I can tell that cooking is a love of yours that runs deep. Can you do some more seafood videos? I don't do many seafood dishes but would like to. I was working in Belize some years back. Me and a friend went fishing with a humble Mexican guide... We caught a variety of fish, nothing very big but quite a few. At the end of the day, before I realized how sun burned I was, our guide prepared the fish for us. He put it all in an aluminum foil pan and I believe he put mayonnaise, green and red bell pepper, onion and lime juice... I just cant remember all of the ingredients... He covered it and cooked it on the grill... Man was it good!! Do you have a fish version similar to what I described?

A great explanation on how to cook Escovitch Fish. A delicious dish.

I can't keep on flattering you Chris. Jah bless u and may he keep you... TriniMassive...
Hey im a jamaica and 1 tip to prevent the smell of the "frying fish" from dominating the house is to lite a candle and place it beside the frying pot.
Miz Tantilizing yip this is true
Miz Tantilizing .
My Honduran Mom.Use burn coffee grains to help remove the smell of fry fish odor from indoor cookin and it worked great!!😊
Put half a lime or lemon in the oil when frying ...that helps me..I'll try your way too.
Man! that's a wicked Escovitch fish. I am going to try it for sure. Thanks for posting.
Love this Jamaican Escovetch fish i love see more like Bake fish with the season the recipes
I have been looking for a recipe. Now, I have found it. I will fix this on Saturday. Looks yummy and the recipe does not look too difficult or time consuming. Thanks Chris for delivering once again!

look so delicious and tasty. It reminds me my fam in puerto rico. Thank you for the video.
One of my favorites! Thanks Chris for the great recipes! You're the best!
What is the name of your pots,and are they non-stick.
I have been searching high and low for a GOOD recipe for this dish. My mother had it when she was in the islands vacationing some years ago and has been talking about it since.

Brilliant the way you did your snapper I'm doing it your way for tea tonight thumbs up to you x
Lovely in London looks well done thanks 🌌🌃🐬
Great recipe. My wife is from Jamaica and we're looking forward to our escovitch snappers.
i am so going to cook this for me and my boyfriend this look soooo delicious great job
A trick I leatned.... When frying fish, boil a little vinegar in a pot. It'll take away the smell.
+Bee Bless
That will definitely work. I pour a half glass full of white and Apple cider mixed together and it kills the smell.
Bee Bless hmm ok
this is literally a myth
Rosalina Posh it’s been proven to work dude
The kitchen will stink of vinegar instead of fish 🤔
Really Really nice,simple and straight forward
Right on time for Easter love it

You mentioned in another video that you are using less salt. Love your work and respect your craft.
salt cannot have less sodium , oh god.....girl really, come on!
white salt is not good to eat
Dietitian here. No it's not less sodium. That's false.
you are a very good cook...
this looks interesting! I will try when I get some pimento...
Oh my gosh my mouth is watering.

Hey Chris, I just happen to have a whole shaker of Pimento berries. I occasionally give it a good shake, then open it and have a GOOD sniff. The spicy aroma is just AMAZING! I can see why whole Pimento berries are preferred.

He covered it and cooked it on the grill... Man was it good!!
Do you have a fish version similar to what I described?
