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.

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.

when I visit Jamaica I always try the island favorites. it's been some of the best food I ever ate...Yum

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.

The Food Network is missing a Caribbean Chef! This recipe gets to thumbs up!!

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.

A trick I leatned.... When frying fish, boil a little vinegar in a pot. It'll take away the smell.

These videos remind me of my childhood, trying to pass on the tradition with my kids now.

One of my favorites! Thanks Chris for the great recipes! You're the best!

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.

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!!!

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!

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.

great video i must try this soon

Making it just now with some trout I caught yesterday but no green pepper!! Thanks for a great tutorial!

Man I thought it would be a lot of work but you made look easy, I always want to try this dish now going to take a shot at it! Thank for the tips 👍🏿
