Seafood Ceviche

Cultural Context

Ceviche is a beloved dish originating from the coastal regions of Latin America, particularly Mexico. Traditionally made with fresh seafood, it is marinated in citrus juices, which 'cook' the fish while infusing it with vibrant flavors. Ceviche is often enjoyed as a refreshing appetizer during hot summer months and is a staple at beachside restaurants. Today, variations abound, with different regions adding their unique ingredients, making ceviche a global favorite.

1

Cut all the fish and seafood into the same-sized pieces, about 1/2-inch thick, and place in a large glass bowl.

2

Add the diced tomato, chopped cilantro, minced red onion, lime juice, orange juice, and salt to the bowl with the seafood. Stir well to combine.

3

Push seafood beneath the citrus juice, cover, and refrigerate. Marinate for 10-15 minutes for a 'rare' finish or up to 4 hours for a more 'well done' finish.

Right before serving, stir in the chopped avocado. Taste and add more salt or lime juice if needed.

5

Serve cold with tortilla chips or baked tostadas.
