Most people have a go-to potluck dish, even if yours is a flat of grocery store cupcakes or a bag of chips and salsa. I have one that I always get recipe requests for, my Avocado Tortellini Salad, with just six ingredients, it's easy and always popular.

I had made a batch of ceviche and was enjoying it when it occurred to me that I could mix the two ideas together, minus the tortellini. Since I've been dabbling in paleo and trying to not eat pasta and grains, this seemed like a great mix of two favorite recipes.

I like ceviche, but until recently had never made it. Amazing considering I have a ceviche making abundance of lemons and grapefruits in my back yard.

The opportunity arose this weekend when I went to a friend's party. Her husband is a fire chief on an American air base on Ascension Island. Ascension is a small island in the middle of the South Atlantic, thousands of miles from anywhere. It took her husband 38 hours to get from Ascension to Sacramento. His luggage - two coolers filled with fish. He's on a month's leave and since he has clothes at home, he just brought fish back.

The fish he brought was grouper and tuna. Last week he had gone on a fishing trip with his firemen and caught a 150 pound yellowfin tuna. He also got a giant grouper last month. Since Ascension is so isolated, it is pretty much virgin fishing waters. Marie was kind enough to give me a package or each. 

I used the grouper first for some ceviche. So easy, so good. I tweaked the recipe from Simply Recipes in that I used grapefruit instead of lime juice and I didn't have any tomatoes. But I'm not a big tomato fan anyway.
