Difficulty: ModerateThe fresh citrus and heat of the jalapeños is like sunshine on a plate. Best known for cooked preparations, red drum is also great for raw dishes like crudo and ceviche. This recipe from Chef Peter Agostinelli of La Belle Winery combines lime and orange juice for "cooking” the fish, and the homemade baked tortilla chips make it extra special.
