Simple Sheephead Ceviche

My buddy and fellow DOTY competitor StinkyPete stopped by my office the other day and gifted me some packs of frozen sheephead filets so I decided to use two of them to try making a ceviche to stoke out my employees.

Defrosted them, trimmed a little of the darker "blood line" meat off, chopped it up, threw it in a glass bowl, squeezed just enough lime and lemon juice to cover it and put it in the fridge.

Waited about two hours, drained off the juice into a glass, squeezed some fresh juice on, threw in a carton of pico de gallo from Mi Pueblo, mixed it up, and put it back in fridge for one more hour.

Then served it on tostadas with some avocado.

Super good and super simple, and the texture of the sheep was perfect!

Didn't add any salt or spice cuz tostada gave it enough salt and the pico de gallo had enough jalapenos in it, but obviously you could add whatever your taste buds wanted.

Thanks again Pete!!

 

Sincerely,

Jim

ps...the juice that I drained off at first was white and milky and I drank it down and it was awesome and made me feel like superman!! 

That looks like a tasty and simple recipe. Thanks for sharing.

BTW after downing the glass did you open your mouth wide, stick out your tongue and show everyone to prove you drank it all? 

Bet they were stoked. Sheep on my 2015 hitlist

Cabeza, they looked at me like I was crazy but even if they had asked for some I wouldn't have shared...it was soooo good!

Let's go pitch the idea to coke as new energy drink. Hey stranger stuff has happened - remember Four Loko 

I have not tried Ceviche yet, I know that lemon and lime will "cook" the meat but I'm still a bit touchy! I will have to try this, still have some lings and rocks in the freezer!

Sounds like a simple recipe for ceviche.  Thanks for sharing Jim.

Inspired by jims sheep viche recipe, made some for the game using fresh frozen rockcod.

Added some blood orange for sweetness and aesthetics. Yum
