Fresh Squeezed

"Every lemon & lime is fresh squeezed because bottled citrus simply can't match the bright, vibrant flavor of the real thing. It's a difference you'll taste in every bite."

Meet the Chef - Kristie
The Chef Bringing Bold Mexican Flavor to Florida's Gulf Coast

Whether you're anchored at a sandbar, relaxing on the beach, or celebrating with family and friends, my goal is simple: create unforgettable food that turns every gathering into a memorable experience.

Behind the Seasides 

Welcome to Seaside Ceviche, where authentic Mexican flavors meet Florida's beautiful Gulf Coast.

​

I'm Chef Kristie Rivera, and I've been passionate about creating memorable dining experiences since 1998. After graduating from Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in San Francisco in 2003, I dedicated my career to refining classic recipes while adding my own modern touch. Over the years, I've worked as a private chef, in restaurants, and throughout the hospitality industry, always driven by one goal: creating food that brings people together.

In 2021, my family and I traded the California coastline for the beautiful Gulf Coast of Florida. Inspired by Florida's boating lifestyle and fresh coastal ingredients, we created Seaside Ceviche to share the vibrant flavors of authentic Mexican cuisine with our new community.

​

Every recipe is handcrafted using premium ingredients, fresh citrus, crisp vegetables, and carefully selected shrimp. From our signature Classic Seaside Shrimp Ceviche to our tropical Mango Seaside Shrimp Ceviche, each dish is prepared with the same care and attention to detail that has guided my culinary career for more than two decades.

​

For us, food is more than a meal—it's an experience. Whether you're relaxing on the beach, anchored at a sandbar, celebrating with friends on the water, or enjoying a sunset cruise, our mission is to provide fresh, handcrafted ceviche that perfectly complements Florida's coastal lifestyle.

​

Thank you for supporting our family-owned business. We look forward to sharing our passion for authentic Mexican cuisine with you, one handcrafted bowl at a time.

​

Fresh. Bold. Coastal. Made for the Water.
