Escabeche Lapu-Lapu is one of my party favorites, but I don't make it often as grouper fish is not always available at the Asian supermarkets I frequent, especially ones that are big enough to feed a crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although I think a hefty lapu-lapu would be more impressive at a special gathering, this Filipino sweet and sour sauce dish is delicious regardless of the size and kind of fish you use.\u00a0 With crisply-fried whole fish topped with colorful bell peppers, shredded papaya, and a delightful and tangy sauce, it's sure to be a crowd favorite!<\/p>\n\n\n

What is in escabeche<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Escabeche is a dish popular in Latin and Mediterranean cuisine wherein meat or fish is marinated and cooked in acidic vinegar or citrus juices. Assorted vegetables such as peppers, onions, and carrots are also commonly added for color and texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filipino escabeche is a local adaptation of this Spanish dish. It consists of fish that's either poached or fried fish, smothered in a sweet and tangy sauce, and garnished with tender-crisp vegetables such as bell peppers and shredded papaya.<\/p>\n\n\n
