1
Prepare the Fish
Cut the fresh fish into small, bite-sized cubes and place them in a glass or ceramic bowl.
2
Marinate the Fish
Pour the lime juice over the fish cubes, ensuring they are well coated. Add salt to taste. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes. The fish will turn opaque as it 'cooks' in the lime juice.
3
Add Vegetables
After marinating, add the thinly sliced red onions, finely chopped habanero pepper (adjust quantity to your heat preference), and chopped cilantro to the marinated fish. Mix gently to combine.
4
Serve with Accompaniments
Serve the cebiche in bowls, garnished with cooked choclo, sliced sweet potatoes, and cancha on the side. Enjoy immediately for the freshest taste.
