CEVICHE RECIPE by my friend, Chef Christopher Miller
aka, the Galley Gourmet, SB
“It goes without saying that you should use only the freshest seafood available for this recipe. Almost any type of fish can be used provided it is fairly firm and free of connective fibers and skin. We chose Halibut for this batch based on it’s being locally and freshly caught, and just couldn’t help but throw a few wild caught shrimp in for good measure”. Chef Christopher Miller
Ingredients:
2 pounds of Halibut (or similar) Filet ¼” cubes
12 Shrimp Blanched, Peeled, Deveined, and cut in ¼“ Sections
