  1. 1

    Prepare the Snapper

    Begin by filleting the baby black snapper. Ensure the fillets are skinless and pin-boned for a smooth texture.

  2. 2

    Make the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine the white soy sauce, ponzu sauce, lemon juice, and sesame oil. Whisk together until well blended.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Celery

    Take the stalk of celery and shave it into thin strips using a vegetable peeler or mandoline. This will add a crunchy texture to the dish.

  4. 4

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving plate, arrange the snapper fillets neatly. Drizzle the sauce over the fillets ensuring they are well coated.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Sprinkle the shaved celery over the snapper and season with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Optionally, add a few drops of extra ponzu for added flavor.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately as a fresh, light appetizer. Enjoy the crudo with your favorite side dish or alone.
