Rainbow trout ceviche

Ceviche on rainbow trout is lime, chilli and cold cubes. Lime is flavour, not heat. Without freezing you do not make this dish. The same rule as gravad.

How to do it

Freeze

2–3 days. Thaw in the fridge. Fillet before or after, but cube it when it is cold and dry.

The acid

Lime, salt, onion, chilli. Short time. The surface dull, the middle still juicy.

The last mix

Cucumber, coriander, oil. No extra liquid. Serve.

Serving

Starter, a spoon, a tostada if you have one. Not hot rice — that is poké bowl.

Tips

No catch in the freezer: fry the fish and make a salad instead. Do not invent “it will probably be fine”.

FAQ

Does lime cook the fish?

It acids the surface. It does not kill parasites. Freeze first, the same as <a href="/tillaga/gravad-regnbage">gravad</a> and <a href="/tillaga/pokebowl-regnbage">poké bowl</a>.

How long in the lime?

10–15 minutes for cubes. Hours make it dry and sour. It should be eaten at once.

Can I skip the chilli?

Yes. Then it is lime, onion and coriander. Still the freeze rule.
