Give a man a fish..

..and if it's NZ, he'll make Ceviche!

Nick and his pop played hooky from work one day last week and went fishing off the coast of Santa Barbara. One of the benefits of living where we do is definitely the proximity to the ocean, and the freshest fish, ever.


They brought home a bag of fish, and instead of doing fish & chips, NZ opted to make a super healthy (all raw ingredients) Ceviche, and it was to die for. Marinated in citrus juice, the juice "cooks" the fish..It's a wonderful appetizer, or if you're like us, throw in a bag of tortilla chips ( or homemade chips, will post those later) and make it a meal!

Nick's Ceviche

3-4 c. raw white ocean fish. Cut into small pieces, about the size of a dice.

2 c. chopped tomatoes ( same size as the fish)

1/2 c. diced white onion. Keep the pieces the size of an eraser head or smaller.

3 garlic cloves cut into small pieces. You want these to give flavor but not have big pieces in any one bite.

2 medium jalapenos. Same size pieces as the onion.

1/4 bushel of cilantro, finely chopped.

8-10 Lemons & limes

Add everything to a mixing bowl. Add citrus juice until it coats everything in the bowl. You don't want to have the ingredients swimming in the juice, but you also don't want them to be dry. Nick uses lemon and lime in his. 4 limes to every one lemon seems to be a good mix.
