Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 150 grams Fresh white fish (sea bass or tilapia)
  • 1 cup Fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 cup Fish stock (chilled)
  • 1/4 cup Red onion, roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, peeled
  • 1 piece Garlic clove
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro stems
  • 1 teaspoon Aji Limo or Habanero chili
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Celery stalk, chopped
  • 2 pieces Ice cubes(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the fresh raw fish pieces into a blender container.

  2. 2

    Add the chilled fish stock and the freshly squeezed lime juice to the blender.

  3. 3

    Incorporate the red onion, garlic, ginger, celery, and chili pepper.

  4. 4

    Add the cilantro stems and salt to the mixture.

  5. 5

    Add two ice cubes to the blender to keep the temperature low and prevent the lime from cooking the fish during the friction of blending.

  6. 6

    Pulse the blender for about 10-15 seconds until the mixture is combined but not completely liquefied into a foam.

  7. 7

    Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a chilled bowl or glass, pressing gently to extract all the liquid.

  8. 8

    Serve immediately in small glasses, garnished with a single shrimp or a piece of corn if desired.
