Escabeche de Pescado(Marinaded Fish or Pickled Fish)

April 17, 2011 by Erica Dinho 8 Comments

Pescado marinado

Escabeche de Pescado o Pescado Marinado is a typical dish from the Atlantic coast of Colombia. It is fish that is first marinaded in a vinegar and vegetable mixture for 24 hours in the refrigerator and served cold.

A dish like this one is perfect for spring and summer. It is easy to make and full of flavor. For this dish I used sword fish, but in Colombia it is usually made with ” Pez Sierra” or “Saw Fish”.

Buen Provecho!

    This reminds me of one of the posts I did. I think escabeche de pescado is the perfect dish for a hot, steamy day. Very nice Erica…

    This sounds excellent. I’ve had a Brazilian version of Escabeche with sardines instead of swordfish. I think that you’re only partially right about when to eat this as I’d enjoy it throughout the year 😉

    This looks so delicious! I like the tangy bright flavors in the marinade, which must be so good with the sword fish.
