Haitian marinades are a spiced batter, deep-fried fritter. Marinades are made with fish, chicken, and also vegetarian. It’s quick and easy. It can also be made with cooked cod for the traditional variation of marinade. This goes well with banane peze (fried plantains), pikliz, and poule en sauce (stewed chicken).
