Ingredients

Bass

12 oz wild striped bass, remove pin bones, skin and blood line and slice paper-thin

Vinaigrette

1  habanero pepper, de-seeded
2 pink grapefruits, body and juiced
4 garlic cloves
4 oz rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup Route 113
1 Tbsp fish sauce
2 oz fresh ginger
2 Tbsp sweet Thai chili sauce
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Reduction

12 oz Sly Fox Brewing Company's Route 113 IPA

Texture and Garnish

1 pink grapefruit, sectioned
Red tobiko
2 Tbsp poblano, finely diced
2 Tbsp cucumber, finely diced
2 Tbsp red onion, finely diced
2 Tbsp cilantro, finely diced
If you have a home fryer or a kettle, crisp up some won ton strips to top the ceviche for some additional crunch.

Directions

Bass

Add about 4 oz of lime juice and sea salt to taste to the bass. Make sure it is well incorporated and well tossed. Let it sit for no longer than 15 minutes. Blow torch lightly for extra depth if desired. Chill and continue with the following steps.

Vinaigrette

Combine the above, all pureed in a blender until smooth, chill and reserve.

Reduction

Combine the above. Reduce in a stainless steel pan until the liquid coats the spoon. Chill and reserve.

Ingredients

Mix all of the directional parts, except for the won tons, reduction and tobiko. Taste for needed salt. Serve in little chilled dishes with tortilla chips aside or in a big bowl, chips and salsa style.
