- Season the kingfish with ¾ teaspoon of adobo on both sides. Make sure the entire fish is well seasoned. Then, in a large pot, add 2 cups of oil over medium-high heat. Fry the fish for 5 minutes on each side. Place it on a shallow plate and set aside for later.
- While the fish is frying, prepare the escabeche. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add the oil, vegetables, black pepper, bay leaves, and 1 teaspoon of adobo. Cook for 5 minutes. Once cooked, turn off the heat, add the garlic paste, and vinegar, and stir.
