Escabeche
A tangy preparation where fish, vegetables, or meat are seasoned with vinegar, oil, aromatics, and spices.
Context
Escabeche matters because it gives guests a clearer way to read a menu: not only what is being served, but what kind of technique, texture, memory, or hospitality decision is behind it.
Example
It is used for seafood, root vegetables, peppers, onions, and preserved dishes.
How THT uses it
THT uses escabeche as a bridge between preservation, acidity, and Caribbean memory.
