Escoveitched fish recipe

Ingredients

Escoveithed fish - ingredients 3lb fish

 2 cups of vinegar
 1 teaspoon of ground pimento (allspice) or 12 whole pimento beans
1/2 tsp of black pepper corns

Preparation - the fish

Escoveitched fish - Scaling the fish If the fish has not been scaled then scale by drawing a knife against the grain of the scales until all of the scales have been removed. This may require a small amount of force (don't worry about breaking the skin - it's pretty tough)








Escoveitched fish - Cleaning the fish Place half a litre or water in to a bowl and add the lime juice.










Escoveitched fish - Drying the fish Wash the fish in this water and set on paper towels to dry.












Preparation - the Escoveitche marinade

Escoveitched fish - Preparing ingredients for the sauce Finely slice the onions, carrot, scotch bonnet pepper and green pepper










Escoveitched fish - Making the sauce Place in to a saucepan along with the vinegar, pimento and peppercorns
 Bring to the boil then allow to simmer until the onions are tender.










Marinating the fish

Escoveitched fish - Marrinading the fish Allow the sauce to cool then pour about half over the fish, ensuring each piece is evenly coated with the marinade.
 Leave to stand in the fridge overnight.









Cooking the fish

Escoveitched fish - Cooking the fish Take the fish out of the marinade and coat with salt and pepper.
 Grill under a medium heat - 10 minutes each side should be enough.










Serving

Escoveitched fish - Serving Serve with Bammies, fresh salad and the rest of the sauce.











N.B. for illustrative purposes only one fish is shown in the pictures above. Several fish of this size would be required to make up the 3lb of weight.
