Recipe Ingredients

		(pescaditos en escabeche a la catalana)
12		Fresh fish - mackerel - anchovy, or (small) sardine, see * note
1/4 cup	59ml	Olive oil - for frying
1 cup	237ml	Olive oil - for marinade
1 tablespoon	15ml	Paprika
1		Cayenne pepper
1/2		Garlic - unpeeled
2 sections		Parsley - chopped
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Black pepper
		Salt - to taste
		Flour - for dusting

Recipe Instructions

* Note: With mackerel it is preferable to use only the fillets, which you can remove from the fish after it is browned.

Fry lightly floured fish in 1/4 cup olive oil over medium heat. When lightly browned put in a recipient, preferably one with a flat surface large enough to accommodate the fish. Heat the cup of olive oil over a high flame. Fry in it a coarsely chopped, unpeeled half head of garlic with the black pepper and chopped parsley.

Let it bubble, stir a few times, remove pan from fire, and blend in the paprika mixed with the cayenne. Add salt to taste. Pour the hot liquid over the fish. Let it marinate 24 hours before serving. The fish will keep in a cool place five days or more.
