Cover with cling film and refrigerate for 3 hours.  Remove and wash off the marinade and dry by patting off the excess water.  

Slice into thin strips at an angle from the tail back and dress onto the plate into a rose like formation, working from the middle of the plate to the outside.

Pink grapefruit segments; peel the grapefruit and segment them being careful to remove the skin. Carefully slice these across into small segments.
