How to Make Ceviche with Fish Scraps

I have talked a lot about how to use up the trim from fish at my restaurant, Oceana. We produce a lot of trim from various fish, so we find unique ways to use it. We’ll use the trim from salmon for our salmon burger, which we mix into Coho salmon. We’ll use a white-fleshed fish for a mousse that we mix into our crab cake. One of my favorite ways to use fish trim is in a ceviche.

Culinary School Couples

Love is in the air in ICE kitchens. It’s not uncommon for friends to attend culinary school together, and it’s not unheard of for couples to meet on campus, but married couples bring their own distinct dynamic to the atmosphere, as anyone sharing a kitchen can imagine. Meet a pair of married students on each coast before they’re collaborating on dining concepts in the future.

Why We Wait: A Defense of Food That Takes Time

For years I criticized Soylent, that strange meal-replacement beverage that looks (and tastes) like chalk. It’s in New York’s overpriced neighborhood bodegas — a color blocked, tastefully designed matte bottle. It’s everywhere. Soylent used to be nowhere, you had to buy the powder online and do the mixing yourself. Now it comes in seven flavors not including the original, which reminds me of the barium milkshake I drank with hostile resistance before getting my stomach x-rayed at age 10. At its best (the cacao flavor), Soylent is tolerable as a liquid meal, but what it lacks in nuanced palate notes it makes up for in being insanely convenient.
