Ceviche

Eastside Road, July 7, 2012—

A FRIEND DROPPED BY for conversation and a Martini, and we prevailed on her to stay for dinner, to celebrate…

Ceviche! Lindsey'd run across this recipe in a recent column by David Tanis, and Dave the Fish Guy, at the Healdsburg market, had a nice solid local halibut yesterday. The result was a delicious, refreshing, summery light supper, everything local —

including Nancy Skall's unparalleled stawberries and black raspberries, given added depth by the occasional mulberry from our own tree.

(Well, the ice cream came from a bit further down the road: Straus, our favorite store-bought ice cream these days.)
