Ceviche or other high protein fat free seafood ideas ?
Ive always LOVED ceviche-fat free lemon or lime juice ,garlic,onion, cilantro marinated shrimp and scallops ( with perhaps bite sized octopus sea clams and mussels) .
Post op I notice I very rarely hear posters sharing ceviche on a menu.
Why? I find I can easily eat a lb of marinated seafood with fresh horseradish /tomato ****tail sauce as a meal.. and its certainly high protein and very healthy.

I love ceviche (which is just the cooking method, really-- though it's often associated with fish) and I know that I eat it often when I am in the Caribbean or Latin America. I don't think it's as popular outside of coastal regions in the US.
If you like ceviche, you'd likely enjoy "Mexican Shrimp/Scallop ****tail" too. It's basically very chilled shrimp (or any seafood) tossed in a tomato, citrus, avocado, hot pepper and cilantro mixture.
I eat a lot of seafood. I find that I get a lot of protein bang with few calories -- and I love it. However, if you are cooking for a family, it can be very expensive.
I cannot/do not eat a pound, however. I am sure you were using hyperbole, but I tend to stay between 3.5 and 4 oz.

Ceviche is great, but it's hard to come by if you don't live near the ocean. In many places (my desert home included), it's very difficult to get high-quality fresh seafood for it.

I love fresh Poke and think it's an ideal food but I moved away from the coast a few months post-op and hae not been able to eat it since. So delicious though!
I eat shrimp regularly - I keep a bag of pre-cooked shrimp in the freezer and thaw out 3 to 4 oz. as needed. I also love Poke bowls (I order mine on greens instead of rice) and I try to have sashimi salmon or tuna every week.
Ceviche is delicious but hard to find and expensive to make when you live in a fly-over state!
