Fish Escovich (Jamaican-style)

This is basically plain fried fish - Jamaican style.
The fish most commonly used is medium-sized Red Snapper, Butter Fish (below), Porgy or Croaker.

After the fish is cleaned, marinate it in a salt/vinegar/water brine for about an hour.
Season with ground black pepper and salt.
(I'm a "Paprika Person" so I added a dash of ground paprika as well).
Fry till golden-brown and crunchy.
Place cooked fish on paper towels to remove excess oil.

In a small saucepan, bring half a cup of vinegar to a rolling boil.
Drop in some sliced onions, carrot shavings, and slices of small hot pepper.
(I didn't want it too spicy so I mixed in some sliced Jalapenos).
Bring it back to a boil then turn off the heat.
Cover the saucepan and let rest for about 10 minutes.

Just before serving, garnish the fish with the veggies and pour a bit of the spicy vinegar on it.
Served with Cassava Dumpling and Sweet Fried Plantains.
