We make our Escovitch Fish the old-school way, just like on the beach in Jamaica. First we clean and season the whole fish, then fry it until the skin is crispy and the flesh stays moist and flaky. While it rests, we top it with a hot medley of onions, carrots, and bell peppers cooked down in our spicy escovitch sauce.
That sauce is sharp with vinegar, laced with Scotch bonnet, and lightly sweet, so every bite hits you with heat, tang, and crunch. If you've been craving Traditional Jamaican Escovitch Fish, this plate brings that flavor to Ohio.
Guests calling us for Escovitch Fish Cleveland style know they're getting real Jamaican Escovitch Fish, not a shortcut version. It's Crispy Fried Fish with Spicy Sauce, perfect with festival, bammy when available, or rice and peas. When you want true Spicy Pickled Fish Ohio style with island roots, this is the one to order.
