Method

Preparation of Fish

  1. 1

    Cut the Fish

    Using a sharp knife, cut the fresh fish into small, bite-sized cubes (about 1/2 inch).

  2. 2

    Remove Skin and Bones

    Ensure that the fish is skinless and boneless. Discard any skin or bones you find.

Marinating

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the fish cubes with lime juice, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, finely chopped jalapeño, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 4

    Marinate

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the fish to 'cook' in the lime juice.

Serving

  1. 5

    Prepare Garnishes

    If desired, slice the avocado and set aside. Crush the tortilla chips slightly for serving.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Once the fish is fully marinated, serve the ceviche in small bowls or glasses, topped with avocado slices and accompanied by tortilla chips.
