Description: I walk you through the process of making seafood ceviche using the "Flavor Punch" approach. This is the exact method we use to make our signature ceviche appetizer served at The Shore Restaurant, but what's most important, is the methodology behind building an intense yet balanced flavor structure. The basic process is this: * Cut fish into 1/4" chunks. * Cover completely with lime juice. * Add enough ketchup to give the liquid just a little bit of body. * Add enough sugar so that the liquid is not aggressively sour. * Add in soy & fish sauce to bring up the umami and round out flavors. * Finish with salt. * Serve with 6" corn tortillas that are fried at 350F until a crisp, golden brown.
