Author Notes

Escovitch is a traditional Jamaican dish that is enjoyed throughout Jamaica and the Caribbean. It is one of my personal favorites. The dish is a marrying of Mediterranean, Latin American and Caribbean cultures. You can use any fish of your choice, I chose whole Bronzino for the recipe. Rather than pickling the veggies in vinegar, I used Reed's Strongest Ginger Beer as the base of the marinade. This recipe is a good source of fiber coming from the vegetables and a good source of heart healthy fats and protein coming from the fish.
