Bibury Trout Ceviche

William Morris described Bibury as, ‘The most beautiful village in England’ and it has been named as one of the prettiest villages in the world. The cottages along Arlington Row on Awkward Hill are believed to have been built around 1380 as a monastic wool store and later converted into weavers' cottages in the 17th century. They are so well loved an intricate image of them can be found on the front inside cover in UK passports.
Bibury has the oldest working trout farm, a wonderful place to visit, fish, have lunch and take home some super fresh produce. Trout farming has a lower environmental impact compared to salmon farming and has less than half the fat of salmon. To respect this beautiful, fresh fish I've simply cured it in citrus juice. My mind wanders to eating in a Peruvian restaurant in the theatre district in London called Lima.
From 1492 onions and limes arrived in Peru from Europe, providing a new way to cure fish. It is thought that cerviche is related to escabeche, the Spanish pickle. Colonial-era Spanish cookbooks contain recipes for both fish treated with vinegar (escabeches) and marinated in the juice of bitter oranges. Some historians think it may have travelled to South America with Moorish cooks accompanying Spanish conquistadores, often as their slaves.
I’ve balanced the marinade for the trout by combining Japanese Roku gin which has citrus and spicy shansho pepper notes with yuzu, shallot, lime zest, grapefruit, chilli, herbs and cucumber. #GlobalApron

Steps
- 1
I like to add a little salt to the fish to draw out the moisture. This process helps to firm up and remove water from the fish, resulting a better texture and enhanced flavour. For a quick cure, salt the fish and leave in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- 2
Place the grapefruit, shallot, chilli, gin and herbs into a bowl and mix well. Whisk the yuzu juice, sugar, lime zest and oil and season well with the sea salt, white pepper. Taste and add more seasoning if desired. Set aside. Skin the trout fillet and pin bone. Dice into 1 cm (½ inch) squares.
- 3
To serve, add the trout and the cucumber to the dressing and mix well. Cover and leave the fish to cure for 10 minutes. Serve topped with the caviar and a gin and tonic with a slice of grapefruit and lime on the side. Serve with a G&T with a slice and ice.
