First time taking a stab slice at crudo? Start with a sharp knife and the freshest wild striped bass you can find, and smooth sailing will follow. This incredibly simple version from chef Chris Jaeckle lets the seafood shine with only lime, olive oil and salt.
Just don't rinse the fish! The firm, flaky meat will soak up the water, which can change its texture and flavor.
