Jamaican Fried Snapper

We cooked this traditional ‘escovitch’ dish of fried fish with my grandmother the night before church, so we could serve it after the service the next day at a large communal meal.

Step: 1

Pat the fish dry and cut 3 small slits on each side of the fish. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Step: 2

Heat 1 quart oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until smoking. Carefully place the fish in the pan and fry until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Remove fish and place on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step: 3

Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir onion, garlic and carrot into the pan; cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes. Add thyme, allspice, habanero pepper, vinegar, water, salt, and sugar and continue cooking until onions have softened and liquid has reduced, about 5 minutes.

Step: 4

Serve fish topped with onion mixture spooned over the top.

Depriving yourself can lead to lot of eat , 2.00 AM snacking, and mindless eating and it’s for this reason that Riner encourages people to indulge in “fun” foods every once in a while.

Avoidance on 2.00 AM snacking and got eat , it is much necessary to include some easy foods (or what one may perceive as unnecessary ). It means , if we always order the healthiest thing on the menu but come home and graze on chips, perhaps we really wanted the burger and should have just enjoyed it in the first place."

Because it comes to dinner , overeating or eating too much of the bad kinds of food can lead to bad habit on sleeping. On the flip side, a meal that is less than satiating not make leave you wanting more and resulting in reaching for an unhealthy late-night side dish even closer to bedtime .
