If you've never had Ceviche, you don't know what you are missing! Fresh, light, tastes like summer...

Ceviche is basically any super fresh firm white meat fish cured in citrus juice. Halibut, tilapia, sea bass, red snapper etc.

This dish comes together quickly, 30 min max. Here's how we do it.

Cut the fish in thin slices along the bias and arrange in flat layers on a platter.
Completely cover the fish with freshly squeezed lime juice (or lemon)
Cover and keep cold. This needs to sit for 20-30 min. The fish will become opaque. If it sits too long though, it will become mealy.

Meanwhile, prepare the garnishes:
Thinly sliced pepper, jalapeno or any hot chili pepper you like
Finely sliced red onion
Halved cherry tomatoes
Diced cucumber
Lots of cilantro
Salt and Pepper

Great for a crowd, serve with tortillas and a cold Margie!
