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.

Do you know where your sushi fish came from? There's a good chance that it came from the Hawaii fish auction.

Started in 1952, the Honolulu Fish Auction is the only live tuna auction in the U.S. The auction is a way for fisherman to get the best, fairest price for their fish by competitive bidding from wholesalers, retailers, and restaurants. The bidding process also prices according to market conditions of supply and demand as well as availability of the daily catch.

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.
