Man, I love any kind of Seviche and this sounds great! I've been working construction down in the Houston, Galveston area in the gulf after Hurricaine Ike and it really jammed my cooking living out of a hotel. Going back today to a condo, this will be my first dish! It will be refreshing after a 14 hour day! Thanks! Jimmy
