Honest verdict on Escovitch Fish — good but not exceptional
Escovitch Fish here was solidly made — rich and coconut-sweet without anything to complain about. thyme was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.
ackee is legally restricted for export when unripe due to toxicity — an unusual national dish ingredient. The a Kingston jerk pit atmosphere was pleasant enough. rum punch was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Escovitch Fish this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
