When it’s as hot out as it is today, the last thing most of us want to do is turn on the stove. This week on our #DiscoverWestCoastSeafood recipe series, you don’t have to! We’re sharing a black cod ceviche recipe, courtesy of Oregon Sea Grant. This recipe features the fresh flavors of summer: herby cilantro, salty olives, and creamy avocado. Pair this light meal with a local craft beer, and you have a fantastic dinner for a summer evening!
