Craving a taste of the tropics? Look no further than ceviche de pescado! This vibrant dish, a staple in coastal Latin American cuisine, is surprisingly easy to make in your own kitchen. Ceviche de pescado is all about fresh, raw fish 'cooked' in citrus juices, typically lime or lemon. The acid denatures the proteins, giving the fish a firm, opaque texture.
To make it right, start with the freshest, sushi-grade white fish you can find – think sea bass, snapper, or mahi-mahi. Dice it into small cubes and submerge it in plenty of citrus juice. Add finely chopped red onion, cilantro, and a touch of chili for a kick. Let it marinate in the fridge for about 15-30 minutes, until the fish turns opaque. Serve chilled with tortilla chips, avocado slices, or saltine crackers. The key is the quality of the fish and the balance of flavors! Enjoy this quick, healthy, and incredibly flavorful dish. It's the perfect appetizer or light meal for a warm day!
