FLUKE CRUDO WITH LIME, SEA SALT AND OLIVE OIL

Fluke Crudo With Lime, Sea Salt and Olive Oil image

Dave Pasternack, the chef at Esca in New York, has a few tips for preparing crudo. Tell your fishmonger that the fish you're buying is to be served raw. You want fresh-filleted fish, not something that is already cut. Then, once you have your fillet, take it home, chill it and then slice it. When you are ready to serve it, get ready for the easiest recipe on earth. Sprinkle the fish with lime juice, coarse sea salt and the best olive oil you can find. That's it. You have a sophisticated plate of food that took you no time at all. Pair the dish with a chilled Sancerre and see if you don't relish in your good fortune.
