From the Galley: Bonito!

-->
While under way along the Pacific coast of Mexico we have found a fish called Bonito is hard not to catch. This is a welcome “problem” seeing as it is a member of the tuna family, which equals… sushi!! Which Torch has now acquired a taste for as well!

We have created and learned a few other ways to prepare this little guy than just slathered with wasabi…



Joel’s Bonito Ceviche
Bonito filets               Lime Juice
Salt                              Red onion
Cilantro                      Serrano or Habanero

Cube Bonito and soak with lime juice. Chop all other ingredients and toss with fish.



Pan Seared Bonito w/ Tropical Fruit Salsa
Salsa
Pineapple or Mango             Red onion
Cilantro                                  Serrano or Habanero
Lime Juice                              Garlic Salt
optional-Orange Juice          

Chop all ingredients. Best if using all fresh produce and juices. Salt to taste. Use within hour for best flavor and texture.

Fish
Bonito Filets              Oil
Salt and Pepper        Garlic

Sautee garlic in oil. Salt and pepper fish strips to taste. Sear to desired wellness.
Serve over rice and top with salsa.



Mexican Viagra
Whole Bonito             Lime Juice
Salt                              Cerveza

Butterfly and clean intestines and organs out of fish. Then make horizontal slits in the meat, keeping the fish intact. Squeeze lime and sprinkle salt over meat filling the slits with juice. Eat meat and pour liquid that gathers into your beer and drink. Arriba!!
