Jules, I'm not sure if you've ever made this, but you should-it's sensational! Russ made it for dinner tonight using reef cod and emperor we caught. He only used one super juicy lime and peeled our fresh tomatoes (I hate cooked tomato peel). I would watch how juicy your limes are, as any more than we used (about 3 tablespoons I reckon) would have totally dominated and ruined a very special dish. We didn't have bitters, so I don't know what it would have added to a perfect dish.
