Treat it right:
We bleed our fish immediately and keep at ocean temperature in a wet fish locker out of the sun and elements. We recommend icing fish when a flash freezer is not available. To have the freshest fish in the months after you have caught your fish we always , bleed, portion cut, vacuum pack and flash freeze. Prawns we freeze in small containers. Sushi quality fish and shell fish is our target treatment.
Ceviche:
Prepared the world over ,principally in tropical countries, this is a delicious method to "cook" your catch in lime juice.
Black Bass Ceviche:
A favourite at Kyuquot Beach House: Use frozen fish only. ( freeze for 3 days minimum)
Fillet , debone and cube the previously frozen sea bass (black rock fish) into 1 inch x 1 inch pieces. Thinly slice garlic and dice some purple onion. Mix and cover with freshly squeezed lime juice. Let stand for 3 hours. Add cubed red and yellow peppers, bell tomatoes, and chopped cilantro and a pinch of sugar. The sugar dampens the bite of the lime juice. Thanks Oscar (Costa Rica)
Spot Prawn Ceviche:
Clean and shell prawns and marinate in olive oil, lime juice and sea salt. for 20-30 mins.
Tiny cubes of bell pepper, cucumber and pickled jalapenos.
Prepare a layer of mashed avocado to line the bottom of serving bowl
Cover avocado layer with prawns and veggies , top with raw radish sproats and drizzle with lime juice and a pinch of salt. Serve with crackers.

Rock Salt and Brown Sugar Salmon
Fillet and debone chinook salmon. Prepare and combination of coarse sea salt and demerara brown sugar. Spread mixture on filet and let stand for 1 hour in a cool place. Wipe off mixture and grill hot and fast skin side down. Cook only till the center of the flesh starts to turn from bright red to pink. Ideally remove before this stage so it does it's final cook on the trip to the table. I love to use a weber barbeque with tin foil, laying the salmon skin side down uncovered and do not flip. The charcoal weber cooks like a convection oven!
