Hogfish Ceviche

Hogfish Ceviche has always been one of my favorite things to make with the fresh hogfish I get out spearfishing. Hogfish are one of the most unique looking fish we have here in South Florida, and they have some of the whitest, mild meat. This makes them great for things like fish tacos. While they might not be my first choice for sushi or sashimi, they certainly do make some other incredible meals.

This particular ceviche uses not only fresh lime juice to cook the fish, but also fresh orange juice. This gives the ceviche a little bit of added sweetness to complement the heat of the red chili pepper. Feel free to use any type of pepper that you wish, if you want it more spicy you can upgrade to a habanero pepper!

How I Got This Hogfish

Spearfishing Hogfish In South Florida

I got this particular Hogfish out spearfishing off of Dania Beach on my kayak. I had originally gone out for the opening of Black Grouper season, but wasn’t able to find any. I kept seeing some decent sized Hogfish come through, and eventually settled on taking one. I shot him just behind the pectoral fin, so all of the fillet remained in tact.

I usually just try to take the larger ones I see, there are a lot that are right around the 17″ mark, this one ended up being right at 19″ to the fork. This was just one of the dishes I made with this fish, If you’d like to see what else I did check out our Hogfish species page. I also did a full Break Down Tutorial on this fish that is up on our Youtube.

I hope you enjoy this Hogfish Ceviche recipe:
