Majestic Ceviche by imfullish
Ingredients
• ½ pound sushi-grade white fish such as halibut or sea bass, diced into ½ inch cubes
• ½ pound fresh perch fillet, diced into ½ inch cubes
• ½ pound cooked lobster tail meat, chopped into bite-sized pieces
• ½ pound lump crab meat, gently picked over for shells
• ½ pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined, and lightly poached, then chopped
• 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
• ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• ¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
• ½ small red onion, very thinly sliced
• 1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded, and finely diced
• 1 ripe avocado, diced
• 1 small Roma tomato, finely diced and seeded
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• Sea salt to taste
• Fresh cracked white pepper to taste
• 1 drop high-quality habanero oil
Preparation
• Place the diced white fish and perch in a glass bowl. Pour the lime, lemon, and orange juices over the fish, ensuring it is fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for 20 to 25 minutes until the flesh turns opaque and firms.
• Drain off most of the citrus liquid, leaving a few tablespoons to maintain moisture.
• Gently fold in the lobster, crab, and shrimp, taking care not to break apart the delicate crab meat.
• Add the red onion, cucumber, tomato, and cilantro. Stir lightly to combine.
• Drizzle with olive oil and season with sea salt and white pepper.
• Add one single drop of habanero oil and fold carefully through the mixture to distribute a subtle essence of heat without overpowering the seafood.
• Just before serving, fold in the diced avocado to preserve its texture.
• Chill for an additional 10 minutes, then serve immediately in chilled glass bowls or over crisp tostadas.
The defining feature of Majestic Ceviche by imfullish is restraint. The citrus brightens without dominating. The shellfish adds sweetness and depth. The single drop of habanero oil introduces a whisper of warmth that lingers at the back of the palate rather than announcing itself aggressively. This is not a spicy ceviche. It is a composed ceviche.
Served with tortilla chips, plantain crisps, or butter lettuce cups, the dish offers flexibility for casual entertaining or plated presentation. Freshness remains the guiding principle. When prepared with care, Majestic Ceviche delivers layered flavor, vibrant color, and coastal character in every bite.
