Preparation
Step 1
1) Combine fish, onion, lemon and lime juices and toss to cover. Season with salt
2) When fish has 'cooked' (approximately 1 hr but check to be sure it's opaque all the way through since thicker pieces will 'cook' slower), refresh by adding a few ice cubes (this firms up the fish) and remove them before they melt.
3) Add in ginger, garlic, habenero, celery, and more salt & pepper to taste. Allow to rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes
4) Top with the cilantro and corn, taste and add salt and pepper as needed & serve in a martini glass
