LMB Ceviche

Agreed.  There are certain species that I won't do raw either, just not sure my dividing line is SW/FW.  I'm more of a trophic level selecter...but more than anything SW pelagics just taste better!

Thanks for the recipe MolBasser!  I used it the night before last and at it last night, very tasty.  I put the whole serrano in rather than a half, my wife likes it hot!  Can't wait to make it again, good stuff!

Glad you liked it.

Yeah, I would put in the whole serrano and maybe 1 1/2 next time...

I plan on doing it again.

Sorry guys, but I'm digging this one out of the archives and looking for any new info.  I LOVE ceviche, and have some crappie in the freezer I was planning to make into ceviche.  I jumped into the Recipes thread to look for any and stumbled across this chain regarding health concerns from freshwater parasites. There's not much I won't eat, but all the tapeworm/parasite chat has me re-considering. 

I would imagine freezing the fillets for a length of time (these are over a month old) would be enough to kill off any nasty's, right?

While down in Porterville last weekend we headed to a large supermarket called Vallarta, where they sold ceviche by the gallon.  It was delicious, the whole time I figured it was probably tilapia, any thoughts on what the markets are using for the ceviche they are preparing/selling?

The cheapest, least expensive thing they can get their hands on and still call fish ... probably tilapia.

And I'd think your crappie would work.  Sounds yummy!

You s/b ok if the crappie were frozen for that long. Although I'm not sure how good it's gonna taste.

With enough lime thrown in and a few Pacifico's to wash it down, it's all good! 

I eat fresh mountain trout with red meat raw. Cutthroat, brookies, splake and tigers. Beautiful bright red trout meat ice cold from mountain streams and lakes are great. I see tapeworms in many fish in the gut. I never see tapeworms or any parasites in the gut on mountain trout. I asked the state fish pathologist last year during some autopsies if it was safe and he said yes. Good enough for me. A little soy and wasabi. Delicious. mmmmmmm

Sounds good to me.  And I've never seen any parasites in any of the native brookies or 'bows I've caught either.

I made some ceviche out of a black I had in the freezer last night. It was delicious.
