Method

Preparation of Seafood

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Rinse the fresh white fish under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Cut the fish into small, bite-sized cubes.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Fish

    Place the cubed fish in a glass or ceramic bowl. Pour the lemon juice over the fish, ensuring that it is fully submerged. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the fish appears opaque and 'cooked' by the acidity of the lemon juice.

Mixing the Ingredients

  1. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the fish is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Dice the tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, bell pepper, and celery, and set aside.

  2. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the fish is marinated, remove it from the refrigerator. Drain any excess lemon juice, if desired, and gently mix in the diced tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper, celery, and chopped cilantro.

Seasoning and Serving

  1. 5

    Season the Ceviche

    Add salt, black pepper, and finely chopped jalapeño to the mixture. Stir gently to combine, adjusting the seasoning to taste.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Serve the ceviche chilled, in small bowls or on a platter with tortilla chips or lettuce leaves as a garnish.
