Thanks guys for all that info but I still think fresh fish is the right way, specially now that cod season is around the corner so freezing fish is just not for me and besides that if I want fresh fish I just have to go and get it witch is just fine with me
 
Any ways, lets talk about Ceviche. I have made ceviche with just about every meet. ( no poultry ) My personal favor one is Crab Ceviche, than shrimp, fish, clam and beef, yes BEEF ( back home people call it carne apache " apache meet " same as ceviche ) Ceviche can be made in a few different ways depending what vegetables you like to cook it with. Mexican Ceviche looks more like a salad. Peruvian ceviche uses only onions, cilantro, and avanero and served with sweet potato and a piece of corn called choclo. Really, really good. I don't know exactly how they prepare it but is just about the same idea. I eat it at this Peruvian restaurant in San Leandro ( Luisa's place ).

My Ceviche:

One pound  of fresh fish.
Lime Juice ( I prefer small mexican limes )
Half red onion
Tomato
Cilantro
Chile serrano and chile abanero ( Be careful with the abanero is HOT )
Fresh small pickle or cucumber ( I like pickles )
One avocado
Salt and black pepper
Six pack of your favor beer 

1) Cut the meet in small chunks ( pinkie nail size ) place them in a glass bowl.

2) Squeeze the lime juice on the meet ( do not squeeze so hard to avoid lime    skin juice, that makes it taste funny )

3) Add salt and just sprinkle it with black pepper.

4) Mix it all up, put it in the refrigerator and the same time grab a beer and start drinking

5) Cut the onion, tomato, pickle, cilantro and peppers if don't like it to hot just use half of a serrano for flavor. By the time you finish the should look white ( cooked ) add all the veggies to the meet, mix it up and open an other beer.
by the time you drink your second beer that should be ready.

6) Serve it on tostadas with a few slices of avocado on top or just cut the avocado on half and slice it on little pieces, scoop it out with spoon mix it all together and eat it with corn chips or salted crackers like a dip and an other beer.

Salud Copadre. Con todo respeto excuse my english senores. enjoy.

Hello out there,

Just eat the last fish I had in my freezer. That was a funny looking ling cod, I said funny because did not look too good but I eat it anyways I caught this guy last year, on my last trip to the Gran Sur, so that fish was sitting there waiting to for me to eat it:smt001 for a about 4 to 5 months in the freezer and did not tasted so good like I tough it was going to be. I made Ceviche with it and I usually make gooood ceviche, I'm a cevichologist , so I know my stuff but this time just did not tested right, I'm wondering if Ling Cod is just not good for this type of food or just was to them old after the first tostada I put it back in the refrigerator to let all the juices fuse together while I drink a couple coronitas than was OK but not even close to the taste of fresh fish ceviche. so what did I learn ? no more freezing fish for a long time.

How long do you keep the fish in the freezer ? does anybody have ling cod ceviche before? was it good ?

Happy New Year Ramon!

I look forward to seeing you at the Bean & in Big Sur in 2009. Let's get some fish!

Hi 

Last Monday, last minute decision, left home at 5:am and headed south to Santa Lucia bay. I got in the water around 9am. The day was beautiful, no wind and small swell. Fishing was not so great for me but for rest of the guys did well.
For the first time I saw a Sandab, they are so cool but so small

Here is some pictures I got from Omar and his reward and some pictures of the magnificent Santa Lucia Range.
