Chronic Scallop Ceviche
Bring the ocean to your table with this scallop ceviche, a textural masterpiece of cured scallops swimming in tart citrus juice, and seasoned with ginger, garlic, chilis and cannabis pepper sauce
Be sure to use the best quality, sushi-grade scallops you can find. Ceviche is not raw, but neither is it cooked. Instead, the scallops are cured by the citrus juices, their proteins de-natured, and their texture transformed into silken morsels with a bite halfway between cooked scallops and fresh sashimi. If you haven’t tried it before, you’re in for a treat!
Recipe by Chef Ronnie Fishman, words by Devon Scoble.
Ingredients
1 lemon, juiced
2 limes, juiced
½ grapefruit, juiced

Edible flowers (optional, for garnish)
Method
Combine all citrus juices in a medium sized bowl with the ginger and garlic. Add diced chili and salt to taste. Let sit at least 10 minutes.
