Homemade Cobia Ceviche a la Palm Beach

I spent the past weekend visiting my friend Caroline and her boyfriend Brendan in West Palm Beach.  Upon my arrival I found that Brendan had recently been on a fishing trip, where he caught a Cobia.  Cobia is a tasty,  white fish that is sometimes called a Black Salmon.  A fun fish to catch, because it puts up quite a fight, and a interestingly delicious fish to eat.  

Old Man Brendan with the Cobia, after an hour-long fight!  I know it looks absolutely foul, but don't judge a fish by its cover.

So, with all of this fresh fish we had a cook-out, where I made my first home-made Ceviche, grilled bottle neck clams, and smoked a king fish.

To me, cooking is art, and I enjoy it so thoroughly.  I love that you can make it up as you go, and make any recipe your own.  So, I looked at a few recipes and went from there....

I give to you:

Unfortunately, my phone died and this was the only picture I captured.... Altogether, it looked more like this:  

The Ceviche was delicious and the trip was wonderful.  I love spending time with Caroline!   

Two happy girls by the sea!
