Ceviche Catering
Experience some of the best seafood in San Jose and San Francisco when you offer Tony Caters’ salt-block ceviche station at your next catered event.
Guests refreshingly savor ceviche with shrimp, white fish, or both, crisply flavored with your choice from a selection of seasonings and add-in ingredients that complement the seafood and each other.
Meanwhile, Tony’s Himalayan salt-block ceviche earns you the compliments you deserve for the sleek presentation and distinctive dining experience.
I know what ceviche is.
And I want some at my next event.Perfectly suited as catered fare, this traditional South American staple subtly scintillates the taste buds with seafood that has been uniquely cured in citrus juices rather than cooked over flames, steamed, broiled, or otherwise heated. This helps preserve the more delicate seafood flavors while also enhancing them with a light infusion of citrus.
Mix in perfectly paired add-in items such as tomato, onion, bell pepper, roasted corn, avocado, diced jicama, and other niblets to provide your guests with a light yet filling meal that has been enjoyed and refined for centuries by our South American cousins.
Tony’s catered ceviche bar works like this: Your expo cook tosses your custom order on the Himalayan salt slab, then transfers it to a small food boat for you. You can add chile-lime tostada spears (always gluten-free) to scoop with, if you’d like, to complete that Latin sabor.
I Say “Shrimp,” You Say “Camarón”
But definitely don’t call the whole thing off!
Tony designed his ceviche catering action station to provide the healthy, light, and refreshing cuisine that Silicon Valley so often seeks.
A ceviche food station also lets event guests control the elements of their meal. Well, from the selection that you and Tony have, um, cooked up, since there are many variations of style, flavor, seafood type, and country of ceviche origin.
Indeed, ceviche can be as varied as the multitude of countries and regions where the dish is popular, such as Peru, where it originated (traditional ceviche peruano, anyone?), or Ecuador, Columbia, Chile, Central America and beyond. As the event host, take advantage of these differences and work with Tony to tailor a ceviche bar with ceviche de camarón or pescado sure to give gusto to your guests.
Tony, could I have [my ingredient idea] with my ceviche?I can hear the ABBA playing now.
And I like it!Imagining a salt-block ceviche chef-led station serving as a focal point of your event, Tony puts forth these other, slightly tamer-than-a-nightclub event ideas for prime nearby venues and occasions:
- The clean, fresh look and feel of a chef-run ceviche food station pairs perfectly with the streamlined, clean feel of The Tech Interactive in San Jose. The venue also understandably tends to draw those interested in high tech, many of whom prefer healthy eating. A ceviche bar easily offers a healthy offset to other perhaps-less-healthy food stations.
- Talk and taste art. The artful presentation of Tony’s salt-block ceviche serves as a striking complement to the modern art pieces showcased in the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art.
- As relatively light fare, a ceviche station combined with a variety of tray-passed hors d’oeuvres could serve as an excellent option for teasing taste buds during a wedding cocktail hour at Fitz Place, a renowned San Martin wedding venue.
