Cook fish with acid instead of heat and eat it fresh

“Serving yourself fish that never met a pan feels reckless the first time. Watching it turn opaque in the juice is the whole small miracle of it.”

The Recipe

  1. Buy the freshest white fish the counter has today and have them confirm it is fine to eat raw.
  2. Cut it small, cover it in plenty of citrus juice with salt, chilli and onion, and leave it just until it turns opaque.
  3. Eat it straight away, cold, before the texture goes.
