Authentic home cooking from Mexico, with US measurements. 
Mexican Fish Ceviche
Ceviche is prepared all along the Mexican coast, and there are many versions. It’s a dish made with fish, fresh seafood, and various seasonings. While it likely originated in Peru, it’s now an international dish and a staple in the everyday cuisine of Pacific coastal countries in Latin America, such as Peru, Ecuador, Chile, Panama, Mexico, Colombia, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Guatemala. I also make ceviche with raw shrimp or a mix of both fish and shrimp.

- 1
Quickly rinse the fish fillets under running water. Drain well. Cut the fillets into small cubes.
- 2
In a large glass or plastic bowl (do not use aluminum), place the fish cubes with the lime juice, enough water to cover, and salt.
- 3
Stir and let the fish marinate in the refrigerator, stirring occasionally. The fish is ready when it turns from translucent to white. Once ready, drain off the liquid.
- 4
Chop all the Pico de Gallo ingredients: onion, tomato, cilantro, and seeded serrano chile.
- 5
In a large glass bowl, mix the tomato, onion, cilantro, green chile or jalapeño, oregano, lime juice (taste and adjust if too acidic), salt, and olive oil. Stir well, then add the marinated fish. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- 6
Serve in cups with saltine crackers, ketchup (I like it with ketchup), and hot sauce such as Tabasco or your favorite. Garnish with diced avocado. It’s very important not to use aluminum containers.

Variation: Prepare the same way using raw, cleaned, deveined shrimp, or a combination of fish and shrimp.
