What is Ceviche?

Ceviche is fresh raw fish marinated (cooked) in lime juice, served with red onion, tomato, cilantro and ají.

Originally from Peru but popular in lots of South American countries where you can find lots of ceviche versions.

Raw fresh fish?

I always deep freeze the fish at least 24h to ensure it is 100% safe to eat. Thaw fish in the fridge for 12 hours before preparing ceviche.

Type of fish you can use to make Ceviche:

  • Corvina
  • Monkfish
  • Shrimp
  • Dorada
  • Sea bass
  • Tilapia
  • Red Snapper

Toppings:

I used cherry tomato, mango and grapes but you can use lots of other ingredients:

  • Cucumber
  • Pear
  • Apple
  • Sweet Corn
  • Crispy Corn
  • Mango

Ingredients

  • 200 g corvina skinless fillet, cut into 0,5-1 cm cubes

  • 3 fresh lime juice

  • ¼ red onion, very thinly sliced

  • 4 cherry tomatoes, sliced

  • 4 pitted grapes, sliced

  • 6 large ice cubes

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • Yuca chips*

  • Optional: Fresh cilantro chopped

Directions

  • Place sliced onion in a medium bowl with cold water and add 2 ice cubes. Soak for 15-20 minutes and then drain the water. This will soften the flavour and make it crispy.
  • In a medium-size bowl, place the fish, onion, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, lime juice and 4 ice cubes. The fish needs to be cold all the time. Mix gently and marinate for 10-20 minutes.Easy Corvina Ceviche
