Pat the fish dry and cut 3 small slits on each side of the fish. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 quart oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until smoking. Carefully place the fish in the pan and fry until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Remove fish and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir onion, garlic and carrot into the pan, cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes. Add thyme, allspice, habanero pepper, vinegar, water, salt, and sugar and continue cooking until onions have softened and liquid has reduced, about 5 minutes.
