Summer is a time for beach getaways, long days at the pool and barbecues with friends and family, and barbecues are great but sometimes hamburgers and hotdogs can be a little “expected.”
Put your hotdog buns aside and step up your next dinner party by preparing some San Diego Rockfish Ceviche Verde!
This Rockfish recipe is healthy, elegant, and delicious leaving your guests longing for more. The ingredients are light, yet flavorful, giving the perfect amount of flavor in every bite! This simple, easy recipe makes the perfect starter for a summer get together, so make extra because you’ll be wishing for leftovers.
This recipe calls for San Diego Rockfish specifically, but we talked to the chef and he says anything local and fresh will work: Rock Cod, Snapper or a local Halibut all work.
