Ingredients

  • 2 lbs of firm, fresh red snapper fillets (or other firm-fleshed fish), cut into 1/2 inch pieces, completely deboned
  • 1/2 cup of fresh squeezed lime juice
  • 0.5 cup lemon juice fresh squeezed
  • 0.5 entire onions - red finely diced
  • 1 cup of chopped fresh seeded tomatoes
  • 1 serrano chili, seeded and finely diced
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • Dash of ground oregano
  • Dash of Tabasco or a light pinch of cayenne pepper
  • Cilantro
  • Avocado
  • Tortillas or tortilla chips

Step by Step method

    Step 1.

     

    Step 2.

     In a non-reactive casserole dish, either Pyrex or ceramic, place the fish, onion, tomatoes, chili, salt, Tabasco, and oregano. Cover with lime and lemon juice. Let sit covered in the refrigerator for an hour, then stir, making sure more of the fish gets exposed to the acidic lime and lemon juices. Let sit for several hours, giving time for the flavors to blend.

    Step 3.

     

    Step 4.

    During the marinating process the fish will change from pinkish grey and translucent, to whiter in color and opaque. 

    Step 5.

     Serve with chopped cilantro and slices of avocado with heated tortillas for ceviche tacos or with tortilla chips.
