Ceviche de pescado - Fish ceviche {Can also be made with a wide variety of seafoods}

4 garlic cloves, crushed
4-5 large shallots, peeled and sliced finely

20 limes, separated into about 10 limes to cook the fish and 10 limes for the ceviche marinade

2-3 tbs sunflower oil
Salt to taste

~ Place the raw fish pieces in a glass dish and cover it with salt, hot peppers, crushed garlic, a tablespoon of chopped cilantro, and lime juice from about 10 limes, the fish should be completely covered by lime juice.
~ Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill, let the fish cook itself in the lime juice for at least 4 hours.
~ Place the sliced shallots in a bowl, cover them with warm water and salt, let rest for at least 10 minutes, drain and rinse well.
~ Once the fish is “cooked” in the lime juice rinse it well, removing the hot peppers, garlic and cilantro.
~ Combine the fish with the shallots, tomatoes, bell peppers, cilantro, and lime juice from remaining 10 limes, sunflower oil and salt to taste in a large non-reactive bowl, mix well and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

She'll just compare me to some dessert, then add a bunch of these ~~~~~~~ and top it of with a shitload of smileys. I guess our our relationship have stagnated. What did I do wrong?! Story of my life...

Guess I got to find a new e-girl. Uh...Check your PM's, Portie.

Parfait, do you have any good lowfat recipes for fish that are french?????

French isn't really the way to go if you want anything low fat. Try Greek food.

It's Filet Mignon and Baguette btw - spell that shit right!

Sorry, I don't eat it enough to know its corect spelling, it is not like it is spelled like it sounds what is it with french people always adding extra t's and gn's where they don't make sense!

You Americans can't pronounce for shit - it's actually spelled exactly how it's pronounced. It can be Italian, German, Spanish, French, whatever. You'll always hear when it's one of you guys pronouncing it. Bonnchjuuur monsieeeeuurrrr; voooooozz parrrlezzzz englaizz? Che seeeez Amerryycann. Vooozz aveeeiz McDonalds?


And seriously, Ginger, try to eat scallops, oysters and even sushi. Healthy and real tasty. Just don't fry it or overcook it - like fish, shellfish is supposed to be more on the raw side. Enjoy the food; never rush it.

I was joking Parfait.............. When I write in a hurry I sometimes mispell, just as Deano loves to rub in my face as much as he can get away with. (Though the other day he could not spell a word himself) (Claimed that he mis-typed it) Right LOL! Actually I spell quite well most of the time, I just don't use spell check to write here, nor do I proof read a forum message board.

So sorry. I am on vacation, get over it! LOL!

Dan and I are going for a walk tonight, and we had delicious cod, rice flavored with tarragon, chives, and butter buds. (butter flavored sub.) And mixed vegetables also flavored with tarragon. It was great! I am dying to try some of your wonderful recipies. I have some bay scallops in the freezer, and I plan to make them tomorrow night.

I have to loose 25 pounds min. to not have to face back surgery. I don't want them cutting on me. I am willing to change diet and exercise. I have 3 herniated disks setting on top of 3 shrinking disks. I have had severe to moderate back pain off and on for over 20 years due to a very bad fall. There are times I cannot move my legs because presure is put on the nerves. The time has come where I have to do something about it to prevent the extreme. Doc says 1800 calorie diet to start.

For the next two weeks I am on a strict fish protein diet. No other protein is allowed.

I need great low calorie, low fat recipes for fish, and after two weeks, I can have chicken. Red meat is allowed sparingly after that. I can do without red meat, but I have very few good recipies for fish. I have orange roughy, catfish, and salmon.

Fix me up folks.

Miss Ginger! I did not read this whole thread and am not sure if someone told you yet, but try www.allrecipies.com. It is a great website that allows you to adjust recipes to the number of people being served. I am sure you will find a cool fish recipe in there somewhere.

As for your back issues, well my goodness I am sorry to hear it. But, I am happy that your alternatives will keep those docs from cutting into your back! Believe me, time will pass so quickly and before you know it you will be 25lbs lighter. I think you will feel good that you did not take the surgery route and that you did something for yourself which of course you can do for the rest of your life. It is very empowering I think. Good luck, my dear!
