Tips For Perfect Results
Use the freshest fish possible for the best texture and flavor.
Let the fish marinate long enough in the citrus juice to “cook” fully, usually about 15-20 minutes.
Add ingredients like onions and cilantro just before serving to keep them crisp and vibrant.

Why This Dish Is So Satisfying
Fresh, light, and full of bright flavors that awaken your taste buds. It’s perfect for warm days and brings a refreshing twist to any meal. Plus, it’s quick to prepare and impressive to serve.
Directions
Blend the halibut, shrimp, scallops, lemon juice, and grapefruit juice in a glass bowl. Cover it up and pop it in the fridge for at least 6 hours, or until the halibut turns opaque. While that’s chilling, combine the bell pepper, jalapeno, onion, olives, ginger, sugar, salt, and tomato paste in another bowl. Stir everything together until the tomato paste is fully blended in. Once the seafood has marinated, drain off the juices and add it to the veggie mixture along with the tomatoes. Give it a gentle stir to bring everything together, then cover and let it chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes before you dig in.

Leftover Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours. The fish will continue to “cook” in the citrus, so it’s best enjoyed fresh for optimal texture and taste.
