4. Pescao en Escabeche (Cuban Fish in Vinegar Sauce)

This dish is similar to Jamaican Escovitch Fish in that a fish is fried and soaked in a vinegar-based sauce, but – with ingredients like olives and capers – Pescao en Escabeche has a very different flavor. The fish of choice for this dish is usually swordfish which is sliced and fried, then marinated in oil and vinegar with sauteed onions and bell peppers, olives, capers, and spices. It can be kept in the refrigerator for a week or more, and is best served cold.
