For the seafood obsessed, you get it. This is the kind of little plate that I crave on a summer afternoon with a cold bev or two. Crudo means ‘raw’ in Italian, hence, snapper crudo, we’re eating it raw with a few simple ingredients. You don’t need a fancy entertaining occasion to make a dish like crudo, it’s so simple, versatile and really delivers on flavour. The most important thing with making a crudo recipe with raw fish is that you're sourcing fresh, firm sashimi grade fish, and keeping it refrigerated until ready to eat. Always have clean hands and a clean work station when working with raw fish too.
