Mahi Mahi Ceviche Ceviche

Last Wednesday I did a drift trip out of Boynton Beach, FL. This time I did not have to bring any Little Tunny home as I caught Blackfin Tunas for Poke!





Made an original Poke recipe -- thanks to the experience of using others.


On the way in I caught a surprise!






I was stoked and ready to try making Mahi Mahi Ceviche!

I used a recipe from the Food wishes Blog with chef John

On this recipe, I swapped out the radish for mango, added a little red pepper for color, and ate it on a Tostado instead of tortilla chips. The fresh fish recipes are becoming addictive!



Thanks Chef John!

That is a nice pic of that Dorado. It is hard to get those colors to show.

Looks like a nice day on the water.

Thanks. It's key to take the photo within the first minutes on board for the best colors. Note the firm grip on the tail -- That fish was trying to flop while the still photo was taken from video. Mahis are especially challenging on a kayak as they often go berserk and can easily flop out of the yak. I even saw a video where one flopped out of a fish bag back into the water and gone!

That is so cool! Can't believe you get mahi from the kayak. And the tuna too, man...

Thanks, Mahis are always a surprise chance catch anytime there is an East wind to blow the weed lines in. The large Blackfins this late in the year are kind of a fluke. They are usually a May/June run for the big ones. Caught this one last weekend out of Dania on a Yozuri Crystal Minnow.
