Siamese Seviche – Ceviche for Pussy Cats π±
Overview:
Cats go absolutely bonkers for this delightful treat! Originally, this recipe boasted the bold flavor of garlic, but considering the potential harm it poses to our feline friends, I’ve made the crucial decision to remove it entirely. π«π§ However, it’s worth noting that some pet owners have claimed that garlic and onion can be beneficial for their furry companions, even helping to fend off pesky fleas. π¦π§ But remember, it’s always best to consult with your local vet for tailored advice regarding your cat’s dietary needs and preferences. π©Ί

Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 pinch pepper
- 1 lb fish fillets (such as tilapia or sole)
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Mix all the ingredients except fish. In a bowl, combine the lime juice, sea salt, and pepper, ensuring they’re thoroughly blended. |
| 2 | Cut fish into 2″ strips by 1/4″ wide. Slice the fish fillets into strips, approximately 2 inches in length and 1/4 inch in width. |
| 3 | Cover fish strips with the juice mixture. Place the fish strips into the lime juice mixture, ensuring they’re completely submerged. |
| 4 | Refrigerate for at least 3 hours and as much as 24 hours. Cover the bowl and let the fish marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 3 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the lime juice to gently “cook” the fish. You can leave it to marinate for up to 24 hours for a more intense flavor profile. |
| 5 | The lime juice cooks the fish and it is safe to eat. The acidity of the lime juice effectively “cooks” the fish, rendering it safe for consumption. |
| 6 | Keeps for several days in the fridge. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they’ll remain fresh and flavorful for several days. |
Tips:
- Choose Fresh Fish: Opt for fresh, high-quality fish fillets to ensure the best flavor and texture for your cat’s ceviche.
- Customize the Seasonings: Feel free to experiment with additional herbs and spices to tailor the flavor to your cat’s palate. Just be sure to avoid any ingredients that could be harmful to cats.
- Serve with Caution: While cats adore this treat, be mindful of portion sizes and frequency to maintain a balanced diet for your furry friend.
This Siamese Seviche is sure to have your feline companion purring with delight! πΎ Give it a try and watch as your cat savors every last bite of this irresistible delicacy. Remember, their health and happiness are always the top priority, so feel free to tweak the recipe to suit their individual tastes and dietary requirements. Enjoy! ππ
