Fisherman’s Dock in NE Florida (they have a few) has never done me wrong. I made this with grouper and opted for the tacos. I had a a small amount of leftovers, threw it all together in a bowl for lunch and YUM. Kind of like a ceviche salad!

Caroline Chambers's avatar

YUM - need to do a ceviche for What To Cook!!!

Does the rice fall through the holes of the colander? Or am I using the wrong kind of colander....

Caroline Chambers's avatar

I always lose a few grains if they go longwise down but otherwise, not many losses!!!

My oven has an option for broiler temp. What is ideal here?

Rachel's avatar

Like 550? That’s the default

Caroline Chambers's avatar

Yes! Great! We are aiming to get a nice sear using the broiler versus a skillet to keep things easy and stink-free, so we need that high heat!

Rachel's avatar

Came out so yummy Thank you for this awesome recipe!!

Check out Mark Marhefka at Abundant Seafood if you’re in the Charleston, SC area. And while you’re at Shem Creek getting your fresh catch, grab some shrimp from Geechie Seafood at the dock next door.

Former fish dude in Portland, Oregon. Thanks for sharing your perspective on buying and cooking fish. Was always happy to engage with any customer curious about their food and how to cook it. Always had a fish taco mix available (usually cod, sometimes halibut depending on the season) for quick dinners like this. But would always tell people how coconut milk, kaffir lime leaves, fish sauce and rice noodles would transform it into a bowl of love.

And I love the Sea Harvest folks in the Crossroads in Carmel! Best place to get sand dabs.

Caroline Chambers's avatar

YES - this is where we buy ours!!! I’m hoping a Monterey person will leave a rec for one of the places on the docks!

George Hodgin's avatar

Love this shop. I need to try dining there, I’ve only ever bought fish to take home and cook.

So delicious! I will now make all my white fish this way because it was SO EASY. I just used avocado, cilantro, and oranges instead of making the slaw and salsa and it was delicious.

Eating this now and it is SO good!
