THE NUTRITION SNOB'S GUIDE TO CEVICHE

FAR SIMPLER TO DIY THAN SUSHI AND MORE INSPIRING THAN A SALMON FILLET, CEVICHE IS THE SMARTEST WAY TO GET YOUR OMEGA-3 FIX THIS SUMMER. MASTER THESE MEALS.

RAW POWER

If you're a bit hesitant about serving up semi-raw seafood at home, we don't blame you. Yes, combining citrus with fish and letting it sit "cooks" the protein in a way, but who wants to place that level of trust in the seafood counter at your local supermarket?

Well, happily, you don't have to. With the rise of straight-from-the-source options, there are tons of retailers and individuals willing to deliver high-quality fish to your doorstep. Try oceanjewels.co.za for freshly caught schools.

"Some people baked sourdough during the pandemic, I whipped up bowls of super-fresh ceviche," says award-winning food writer Todd Kliman, who later honed his skills under the US's best ceviche chefs and compiled these recipes. "Their preparations are straightforward, take almost no time, yet have so much going on in terms of texture and flavour," says Kliman. Push the boat out.
