From Ceviche to Lomo: Fresh Caribbean Recipes for the July Heat

JULY 22,

2025



July in Saint John brings intense sunshine, packed beaches, and a craving for fresh flavors. At Morgan’s Mango, our kitchen adapts to the season with light recipes and local ingredients. Here’s a look at the dishes on our menu that are perfect for the hottest days of the year.


Caribbean Ceviches: The Ocean, Served Cold
If there’s one dish that defines summer in the Caribbean, it’s ceviche. Made with fresh fish and seafood, lime juice, crisp vegetables, and a hint of spice, it’s refreshing, light, and full of flavor. Perfect as a starter or paired with a cocktail at sunset.

Salads with Local Fruit: Freshness with a Sense of Place
Caribbean fruits aren’t just for desserts or smoothies they also shine in colorful, refreshing salads that mix leafy greens with grilled fish or chicken.
Our mahi-mahi salad with mango and citrus vinaigrette is one of the season’s favorites. It’s perfect for those looking for something light, yet flavorful.

Island-Style Lomo: Grilled Meat, with a Fresh Twist
Even in the heat, there’s still a place for grilled dishes especially when paired with lighter sides.
Morgan’s Mango’s Caribbean Lomo is a house classic with a twist: marinated beef infused with herbs and citrus juices, grilled to perfection and served with coconut rice, fresh salad, or fried plantains. A delicious way to enjoy the grill without losing that summery feel.

Tropical Cocktails: Flavor Meets Freshness
Nothing says July like a good cocktail in hand. Some of our summer favorites include the Mango Colada, Caribbean Passion, and the Marilyn, 1995. Local fruit, ice, and just the right touch of rum make each drink feel like a mini getaway.
Paired with ceviches, salads, or grilled plates, they’re the perfect match for the summer heat.

A Menu That Moves with the Weather and the Rhythm of Summer
At Morgan’s Mango, we like our menu to reflect the climate, the scenery, and the moment. That’s why, during the warmer months, we focus on fresh ingredients, balanced flavors, and dishes that celebrate the best of the Caribbean.

Behind every familiar flavor, there’s a team that puts their heart into every plate.
