Some of the flavors incorporated here might not be thought of as
“traditionally Mexican,” but that’s one of the beauties of the
Baja—surprising, intriguing and occasionally Asian. We ate a similar
version at a wine event at Monte Xanic winery in the Valle de Guadalupe,
and I loved the combination of lime and cilantro with a touch of soy
and fresh ginger.
If you have a home meat grinder or the attachment to your standing mixer, you can cut the fish into chunks and run it through on the largest die. If not, it’s just as easy to quickly chop the fish into small (1/8”) cubes.

Instructions
Cut the fish into 1-inch cubes and place in the freezer on a baking
sheet (lined with parchment or a silicone mat) for a few minutes until
firm but not hard. Grind through the coarse disc of a meat grinder.
(Alternatively, you can hand-chop the fish, which will take focus and
perserverance.)
In a medium bowl, combine the fish, carrot, cucumber, green chile,
ginger, cilantro, lime juice, soy sauce and sesame oil. Cover and
refrigerate for a few minutes for the flavors to mingle.
Taste and season with salt (usually about ½ teaspoon). Serve with tostadas and a little extra cilantro for garnish.

Thank you,

I attended the Cascabel show at the goodman and you served a cerviche – it had an aspic type gel on the fish — I would love the recipe… thanks
I am so sorry – but we do not publish most of the restaurant recipes.
