lime juice

💰Cheaper: lemon juice

Lemon juice can be a more budget-friendly alternative.

cilantro

💰Cheaper: parsley

Parsley is often cheaper and can provide a similar flavor.

Cut the fresh fish into bite-sized pieces while slightly frozen for easier handling.

Transfer the fish pieces into a medium bowl.

Add 2 cloves of quartered garlic, sliced jalapeño peppers, and chopped cilantro to the bowl.

Stir the ingredients until well combined.

Pour enough lime juice on top to completely cover the fish and press down gently with a large spoon to submerge the fish.

Cover the bowl and transfer it to the fridge for 2 and 1/2 to 3 hours.

About half an hour before removing the fish from the fridge, place a shallot in a medium bowl and cover it with warm water, adding a pinch of sea salt.

Let the shallot sit for 10 minutes to tame its bitterness.

Drain the shallots into a fine sieve and transfer them back to the bowl.

Chop red and orange peppers and tomatoes, then add them to the bowl with the shallots.

Stir the ingredients well and add 1/4 cup of lime juice, stirring again before letting it sit for 10 minutes.

Remove the fish from the fridge and check that it has turned nicely opaque.

Using a slotted spoon, remove the fish into a large bowl, ensuring no seeds, garlic, or cilantro are included.

Discard the removed ingredients but reserve about 1/4 cup of the lime juice.

Add the onion mixture to the fish and mix gently.

Add about 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro, the reserved lime juice to taste, a drizzle of grape seed oil, and a small pinch of ground sea salt.

Stir the mixture and taste, adjusting with freshly ground black pepper and a few dashes of hot sauce if desired.

Let the ceviche rest for 25 to 30 minutes at room temperature before serving.
