CEVICHE FROM ACAPULCO
Excellent meal for the summer, since there is no cooking involved and it is cool. Any thick, firm white fish can be used. The citrus juice cooks the fish. You can also add shrimp or scallops and substitute for part of the fish. This is adapted from "A Treasury of Great Recipes" by Mary and Vincent Price. Cooking time is the marinating time in the refrigerator. Letting it sit in the vegetable mixture overnight is not included. Posted for ZWT5.

Tips for Making Ceviche Acapulco
- Use the freshest seafood possible. This is essential for ceviche, as the fish will not have time to develop any off flavors.
- Choose a firm-fleshed fish. This will help the ceviche hold its shape and texture.
- Cut the fish into small pieces. This will help the ceviche marinate evenly.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color, flavor, and texture to the ceviche.
- Do not overcook the fish. The fish should be cooked through, but it should still be slightly translucent in the center.
- Use a good quality lime juice. This will give the ceviche a bright, acidic flavor.
- Season the ceviche to taste. This may include adding salt, pepper, cilantro, or other herbs and spices.
- Serve the ceviche immediately. Ceviche is best served fresh.
Conclusion
Ceviche Acapulco is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a hot summer day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it spicy or mild, with or without vegetables, ceviche Acapulco is a dish that everyone can enjoy.
