Halibut Ceviche


Braised lamb with roasted bone marrow




Oh lord that was amazing

 

There very well might be. However, after doing shots of mezcal from beef bones searching for a thread didn’t even come to mind

 

Agree. My best Ceviche ever was with Halibut, back when you didn't need to mortgage your house to buy a lb or so of it. Orange Roughy would probably work. At Costco it was about half the price last I checked but I'm now 200 miles from the closest Costco, so no go.

 

I like Halibut but we lived among the locals in Mexico for 3 weeks and I learned to hate Ceviche. Not a big seafood fan as it is. The locals loved their octopus. They had octopus, shrimp and lion fish smothered in lime juice. I couldn't get it past my lips.

Did enjoy how they caught the fish. They had a big ass treble hook on strong rope and would throw in water like a lasso and drag it in hoping a fish was on it. I would be floating on the water and the fish would go right under me.

 

The way I was taught to make it was, don't just cut the fish into chunks. Chop it fine so it comes out like ground beef. It "cooks" faster this way too. Of course, lime juice, onion, tomato, serrano chile, cilantro and, instead of ketchup, Val Vita tomato sauce. IMO, Sierra mackerel makes the best followed by dorado. Of course, you have to start with fish caught the same day!

 

Fish of any kind, no matter how it's cooked is always better that day it's caught.
Although I do keep some in the freezer for when I can't get fresh.
