Method

Preparation of Fish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Cut the fresh fish into small, bite-sized cubes and place them in a non-reactive bowl.

Marinating

  1. 2

    Add Citrus Juices

    Pour the lime and lemon juices over the fish, ensuring all pieces are submerged. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the fish to 'cook' in the acid.

Chopping Vegetables

  1. 3

    Chop the Vegetables

    While the fish is marinating, finely chop the red onion, tomato, cucumber, jalapeño, and cilantro. Set aside.

Combining Ingredients

  1. 4

    Mix Everything Together

    Once the fish has marinated, drain excess citrus juice and add the chopped vegetables, cilantro, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve the Ceviche

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately in chilled bowls with tortilla chips or lettuce leaves.
