Instructions
Add fish to a bowl, pour over the lime juice, and sprinkle with salt.
Mix well and allow to marinate for at least 1 hour in the fridge.
Squeeze the fish meat with your hands until there's no more liquid coming out.
Place fish in a large bowl and crumble it well with your hands or a fork.
Add to the bowl the onions, carrots, cucumber, tomatoes, chilies, and cilantro.
Add orange and lime juice and season with salt. Mix well.
Adjust flavors to taste by adding more lime or orange juice, chilies, and salt.
Serve with tostadas or saltine crackers or store in the fridge for later.
Notes
You can make this Mexican ceviche with Guachinango (red snapper), dorado (Mahi Mahi), halibut, flounder, corvina (sea bass), or Tilapia.
Make sure you use a glass bowl for mixing and storing the ceviche as stainless or aluminum containers can reach with the lime acid.
Make sure to dice and chop all vegetables into small bits, so the dish will be easier to serve and eat.
You can add a few tablespoons of
homemade Clamato juice
for extra flavor, but this is optional.
This recipe is made with raw fish, so we recommend storing it for no more than 2 days in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator.
