Mahi Mahi Ceviche Recipe - Marinated Fish Salad - Great for Summer!

[Klimakteriumet]

It seems very good, I guess it's healthy also :)

[warberg]

Make some real Ceviche :D

[Tomy1116]

Oh my!  yummy

[nevroth]

I'm Peruvian and I approve of this recipe!! YUM YUM! Of course I like my traditional simple ceviche with truckloads of onions, but this is something I can whip out when I'm feeling "fancy" lol!

[cmcole2012]

I did an asian spin on a ceviche with mussels and squid. Replaced salt with soy sauce, and dressed with a mirin-coconut milk reduction with the standard citrus juices and finished with cilantro. Simply amazing!!!

[chiefofmagna]

l dislike raw onion. will have to try soon!

[Energi2DmaxX]

oh i am happy

[Verygrimcoyote]

hit 3, then 4, then 5 to hear him say "fish the fish the fish!"

[ceciliazender]

This is not Ceviche, this is Mahi mahi salad.....Try the Peruvian CEVICHE!!!!! It is the real one!!!!!

[Mawgbot]

Mister Chef John, I have a (possibly silly) question. Why is it that every time I see a recipe including cucumber, the seeds get scraped out? Are the cucumbers in America-land full of poisonous, razor-sharp seeds, or something? Ours here in Australia are soft and lovely, so no one ever scrapes them out. I am so confused. :(

Also, this recipe looks gorgeous.

[shahfake]

@Mawgbot the seeds of a cucumber are loaded with water, so its probably to stop the ceviche from becoming watery.

[Escapism17]

Denaturation happens when proteins lose their "3D" structure (as well as their function and properties) by the action of heat, salt, alcohol or in this case, acid. So yeah, cooking and marinating are both ways of denaturalizing proteins.

Great recipe!

[HaRuKaXll]

delicious

[jennyzha0]

denaturation just means the bonds between the amino acids in protein is ruined :) YUM.

[dncinmachine24]

this made my mouth water.. it looks delicious. i'm latina.. no complaints here.

[Lobodog6505]

not how you make ceviche! plus depending on the country it's different... in Peru it's chunky, in Chile it's mushy.... oranges? wahh?? ....avocado?? gringo huevon

[DumaFire]

Lmao I was really mad because I'm latina and I was all "THIS ISN'T THE TRADITIONAL WAY D:<" but pfft tis cool. Nice recipe.

[jbooks888]

I love this guy's sense of humour.

[cowmancheese]

Cool!

[duffins2007]

ceviche is called ' KILAWIN ' in filpines....



[shiminili]

oh my god! youre from san francisco chef john????? oh god. im gonna look for your house and sneak in to get some food.

[Parralyzed]

THIS IS NOT ORIGINAL PERUVIAN DOUBLE MAHI CEVICHE!!

[ZeceFackler]

I am about to start raising some black river Pacu and I wonder if this would taste as good with them they can be sweet like Mahi Mahi.

[azntranc3951]

where can I buy blurry chives? :(

[eldruidacosmico]

That would be a nice KGB CIA kind of torture, leaving a man inside a tank of lemon juice for days so he better confesses or else he's going to become a human ceviche.

[azntranc3951]

@eldruidacosmico

sounds a lot like brining a ... human

D:

[elenabarreda]

I currently live in Peru and I like the Peruvian cuisine, seviche - one of my favorite dishes and I really like your recipe! Thank you very much for it!

[leomlc04]

"over ceviched¨lol

[blahblah703]

Denaturing in extremely simple terms is just proteins in the fish breaking down. But Chef John you did a good job describing anyways! haha

[fafhrd6]

Denaturation is the process in wich mostly proteins lose their so called 'tertiary structure and secondary structure' Sorta means it goes from '3D to 2D' Same thing happens to eggs when you cook 'em. That's why they turn white.

[itsmeitsme16]

You should post the amount of calories per serving your food has. and if you already do that...where does it say?

[HackerGuitarist]

@itsmeitsme16 if your on a strict.... diet your watching the wrong channel

[itsmeitsme16]

@HackerGuitarist No no strict diet. Just somewhat healthy.

[lalabear18]

I am eating maui onion chips... I wish I had some ceviche to go with it!

[liuzhenxin3]

i always try to be full when i watch chef john's videos. HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT WORK!

[PilotOfTime]

im from peru YOU ARE DOING IT ALL WRONG!!!!

lol i just had to say that

[47065360]

@PilotOfTime .-Maybe you should be doing the videos instead of chef John.

[mahtay2000]

i put in finely chopped celery leaves when i do it with an oilier fish......damn now i'm goin tuna fishing-bye boss!

[xennelul]

I would add some crushed garlic....

[rawimpact]

did this without the lime/lemon juice marinade tasted funky/too fishy

[paleypeach]

@rawimpact I thought the acidity of the lemon/lime juice "cooks" the fish... so.. were you eating raw fish? (and not a la sashimi, either)

[stinabeib]

Can I use something other that mahi mahi? I don't think I can get it in my home country.

[TMAL44]

@stinabeib Yep you can use swordfish, snapper, grouper, etc

[stinabeib]

@TMAL44 Thanks :)

[xennelul]

@stinabeib you can use any kind of seafood: shrimp, lobster, any kind of fish

[stinabeib]

@xennelul Thanks :)

[edianeh]

you are amazing!

[eleos82]

You're awesome and I'm from Peru!

[multomata]

in the philippines we called this kinilaw, we also add vinegar on it

[erickakenneth123]

@multomata Oh my, I remember, my uncle used to make kinilaw for pulutan whenever him and his friends drink

[kuken2000]

Orange supreme - good times!

[sweetspringsmile]

I like how you described 'denature' hahahaha...funny!

[eleonoy]

Wonderful chef John ! I may add a small shallot.

[warman843]

i just made this! but unfortunately i tasted to season too much and now its gone....

[leftyla]

Mahi Mahi - the fish so nice they named it twice! It's also the fish that never sleeps.

[rtselitesaxy]

the lemon juice DOES NOT cook the fish, the acidity changes the molecular structure of the proteins in the fish so it looks like it cooks it but it doesnt. thats why chef john said it denatures the mahi mahi

[Maplestory579]

I LOVE THE WAY YOU SAY JALAPENO

[arniebarb123]

can i substitute the fish with carrots?

[Dixie096]

yummy, Can't wait to try this recipe!

[ChingChongZhong]

remember kids, nobody wins in a youtube argument

[maaachinima]

@ChingChongZhong Arguing on the internet is like the special Olympics no matter who wins, you're still retarded.

[whateveryoulikeify]

@maaachinima thats pretty mean just saying. Making fun of the special people is funny

[sweetiee17x3]

denaturing is "changing shape" and therefore, changing it's form.

[wildboyz322]

@sweetiee17x3

specifically, the form of the protein in the fish

[SereniT03]

we made it! (but with tilapia) *IT WAS AWESOME*

[Emviced]

@Insubordinate90 And pray, just how do the Japanese go about "curing" their raw fish?

[dayamsta]

amazing chef, also what other fish can i use?x

[tacoskater110]

denaturing is just when acid or heat messes up proteins. as simple as it gets :)

[TheMinims]

The Cayanne is back! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[WalrusDoom]

Where can I buy Blurry Chives? I went to Whole Foods and asked for them and I got kicked out of the store?

[IFknHateUTube]

ceviche goes great with a side of yayo

[evilwoman24]

Hi Chef John. I was hoping you might beable to tell me , Whats the name of the music you use for the background of your videos? Iv been searching for it and without the name Im LOST! LOL. Thanks for any help :)

[ricklude]

Sorry, but I WILL NOT eat ANY KIND of raw critter, from ANY place, ANYWHERE, at ANY time, including from & in my oun home! Subjecting foods to an acidic maranade is NOT enough to kill many harmful "bugs".

@Insubordinate: I suggest YOU do some research on the number of parasidic infections contracted YEARLY in the asian rim area. 1.5 MILLION from just ONE TYPE of parasite alone. . . . and that's ONLY those cases which are reported & documented!!!!!!

So, go enjoy your Sushi.

[IFknHateUTube]

@ricklude there are no bugs in raw ocean fish moron

[ricklude]

@IFknHateUTube Moron? How doltish. With your display of rude foolishness, you're posting in whole was made unworthly of a factual rebutal / reply.

Have a nice day. :-)

[WECantThink]

I finally figured out where the dislike votes are coming from... Bettys Kitchen, Cooking with Dog, etc. Just kidding!



[lauratdrummer]

Will it still be good if I don't add in the avocado?!

[bingYUANs]

how could anyone dislike this video? sighs

[1069137782]

I just loveee chef john~~~~=P

[msfashionlover]

@Insubordinate90 hocus pocus it is

[raVen670]

Can I do this with some other fish than Mahi Mahi?

[turnthepage]

@raVen670 ive had it with shrimp and its good! :)

[sclabman]

Denaturing the proteins in the flesh is essentially what happens when you cook a piece of meat. Thus, yes it is cooking the fish in a technical sense.

[Overactivedreamer]

Kids my age watch Jersey shore. I watch Foodwishes. Who needs friends when you have Chef John?

[oreobaby73]

@Overactivedreamer i watch both so...

[LolTechTutorials]

@Overactivedreamer WOOHOO TV can go F*** itself :D Lol I'm a 12 year old boy. Meh

[hipp6y]

@Overactivedreamer bless you :)

[iDoopy]

@Overactivedreamer Kids my age Watch Jersey Shore and need to grow up im watching chef john to learn how to be a chef.

[aokmaniac13]

I am Peruvian, but I can't be mad at you. Just spread the good word like you always do.

[JUSTREADMYBOOK]

i can't wait to try it. I LOVE ceviche. I do a bacalao ceviche for those who afraid of the fish not being done, and when I can't find a good piece of fish.

[JennyxCookies119]

Ceviche! Love It!

[andiar]

Am i the only one who thinks denatured sounds too much like castration

[radulica]

umm how does the orange mix with the other ingredients? O_o

[andiar]

@radulica you mix the orange in by using the recently described shaker shaker (do NOT use the old tappa tappa).

[radulica]

@andiar no, i was talking about how the flavours mix. like the orange, who is sweet, with the salt and fish and aeverything else. It's pretty weird for me to eat something sweet combined with something salty at the same time.

[MUDSWAT]

Denatured, means to take away or alter the natural qualities of something... So your basically right... Avocado is in a skin... and this looks GREAT !!

[kekejojo1212]

ramen noodle eaters version to this recipe - add the following to a bowl:

can of tuna, dried spice blend, canned orange slices, lettuce pieces, and pour over olive oil vinegrette dressing. surround bowl with tostidos

GOOD TO GO!

[pudsey123]

denautured means breakng down the amino acids in the fish, hence breaking down the enzyme protiens, the enzymes can be the thing that make raw fish harmfull s to eat.... so now you know...

[elbay2]

@pudsey123 Thanks, that good to know!

[supahasian514]

why does it lơk so shadowy?

[shaxpi]

I'm latin and i think that looks delicious!

[Taialth]

@Insubordinate90 It is totaly fine to eat raw when it has been frozen. Try a piece of sushi. it will do you good!

[romanlxxxvii]

Peru here:

What are you doing to our precious dish!? You have RUINED the SANCTITY of ceviche and shamed it with your liberal gastronomically practice of HERESY! You sir, have outraged the entire country. For shame food wishes, for shame!

Signed,

Peru

[alenor3]

@romanlxxxvii

not sure if trolling

or just stupid.

[NekoKamiko]

@romanlxxxvii LOL



[emdelity]

@romanlxxxvii Hahahahahaaa!



[TheVittleVlog]

Looks really good!!

[CapitaoBlue]

Nice Citric-Cooked Fish Salad. But this is not a Ceviche.

[apetheape9]

you live in san fran? i thought you always lived in the east coast like new jersey or new york

[cestrc]

when you said "one big tip here" i automatically turned it into "tit" i have no idea why this word flashed in my mind but i feel horrible now

[Yellowtoxin]

Thumbs up if your watching these vids because your hungry:)

[pansyed]

zzz isnt it sour wtf

[pansyed]

omg what sort of lemon squeezer is that,

[raf50211]

lomo saltado please, the best peruvian dish.

[unkaodya]

why are americans so obsessed with not eating bacteria? you won`t die from eating fresh, raw fish. ever heard of sushi? people don`t die from it.

[Plum369]

@unkaodya it's not bacteria, it is parasites (roundworms etc) that can be in the flesh of raw fish. Freezing or cooking is supposed to kill the parasites. so if you make your sushi etc from prefrozen fish it should be ok.

[alibangbang71]

if i will make this dish, i'd eat it raw...it's taste so much better.....and i'd use blue marlin...

[Taialth]

@Insubordinate90 if it has been pre frozen, bacteria is gone, you can even eat it raw.

[rsdewd]

this might sound stupid. but isnt it incredibly sour?

[msfashionlover]

@Insubordinate90 no

[namebp]

poor Peruvians...

[mryungtalentedDJQ8]

Chef john can you toss my salad ? I don't think I can do it on my own

[Dumass88]

So, only toss the salad occasionally?

[Orion6699]

And do you see those boats out in the bay of SF??? Its the Peruvians... You better pack your camera and go live in Las Vegas for a few days...

[Orion6699]

Its an 'all natural covering'

[vasemedroserii]

If only Denmark new what summer is

[Ronaldinjiia]

@vasemedroserii Præcis.

[1407tommy1407]

love it

[TheFizikal]

love your character

[lipen99]

John, I noticed you haven't made a video for Lomo Saltado and I am just wondering if you wouldn't mind making it and putting a video up of how you did it

[xxMinseok]

Denaturation is a process in which proteins or nucleic acids lose their tertiary structure and secondary structure by application of some external stress or compound, such as a strong acid or base, a concentrated inorganic salt, an organic solvent (e.g., alcohol or chloroform), or heat.

[DackIsBack]

You need a SLAP-CHOP Chef John! ;)

[helen2U]

Chef John has nice hands.

[happyline131]

instead of the mahi mahi, could i just get the one mahi; coz i'm not that hungry?

:D

[Sploog321]

herp derp typyos

[Sploog321]

Why do use Lemon and Lime? Why not just one or the other? Does it taste better? DOes it add 2 flavors rather than just 2?

[MakeupByNefertiti]

this looks sooooo good

[catnips0addict]

omgosh. this is like KINILAW here. vinegar and citrus juice put some onion tomato. i;m hungry!

[SweetMillefeuille]

@foodwishes

Denaturing means the bonds in the protein become destroyed, and the more this happens the more the protein loses its shape. This happens when you cook the fish or put it in really acidic liquid. Makes it more tender =)

[tofumasker23]

mmm....looks so good

[daughterMYslaughter]

mmmm blurry chives

[beefyramos]

why no seeds???

[mihoart]

@beefyramos seeds are packed with capsaicin. there is still enough of it in the rest of the jalapeno to make John's ceviche spicy as he prefers, but not as hot as his moustache is :-{D

[erique82]

hello chef john! :D please come up with a yummy healthy dish for those who are fasting, pretty please :)

[jasonyore]

@KylenneLupo A little cumin won't hurt either..

[russtex]

Fabulous!

[badjer1785]

no olive oil?

[Justic3h]

my taste is that i wouldnt like it.. but eh :) tastes are tastes... amazing video.. the dish is colorful . have a good one John

Mom

[calebthellama]

Chef John...you always say "Ask the Meat Guy for This specific cut of meat... " or "Ask the Meat guy to clean your fish" but what does that mean? where do you go to get your food? because i don't know if they'll do that for me at like.. Safeway or an average place like that. will they?

[kaisergrendel]

Couldn't you fully submerge the fish in acid instead of constantly fiddling with it to ensure an even coating?

[WAKEUPshift111]

the way you speak is so calming and reassuring.

[S3844]

Mahi Mahi, the stuttering fish.

[RealmOfTruth110]

Oh yes please make cinnamon rolls!!

[lhrmeonom]

Chef John, you should apply for Youtube Partnership!!!!

[ALTxPAIDx]

@lhrmeonom I believe he already has a partnership with Youtube.

[lilacfunk]

Seems like a REALLY HEALTHY and nutritious recipe.

[fishplatter]

@foodwishes hi chef john, if i do not have access to mahi fish, can i use salmon instead?

[yhlasb]

Something great with mushrooms ? I love em

[robvelor]

cucumber, radish, orange, and avocado are not part of real ceviche

[robvelor]

@robvelor Commented before seeing the last disclaimer! anyways... dont put in the that shit at the end :)

[1996Krikri]

@foodwishes Hi Chef John, have you considered makin cinnamon rolls?? If not, could you please.
