On the day

CURE THE SEA BASS

Defrost the fish 20 minutes before marinating it by putting it in room temperature water still inside the vac bag – DO NOT OPEN the bag. For a fillet of 900 g remove the skin from the fish and marinate the fish in a mix of coarse sea salt and white sugar (1/4 sugar for coarse salt) for 6 minutes.

Rinse the fillet, pat dry, wrap in paper towel (NOT PLASTIC WRAP) and allow to dry in the chiller for 2 hours.

CEVICHE SAUCE

  • 200 g tiger’s milk ice cubes
  • 80 g raw sea bass
  • 100 g lime juice
  • 300 g Kara® coconut milk
  • 2 pieces of bird chili
  • A pinch of salt

Blend all the ingredients together and serve in shot glasses. Keep chilled.

METHOD

Slice the sea bass 3 to 4 mm thick (not too thin). Garnish with all ingredients above and serve with tiger’s milk on the side.
