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".

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 😉

That marinade sounds wonderful! I really need to use marinades more often, they're so delicious. 🙂

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