Ceviche de pescado, a traditional Peruvian dish, is a refreshing and flavorful fish salad that is "cooked" in lime juice. This unique dish is made with fresh fish, typically a white-fleshed variety such as tilapia, sea bass, or halibut, which is marinated in a mixture of lime juice, red onion, cilantro, chili peppers, and other seasonings. The acidity of the lime juice "cooks" the fish, resulting in a tender and succulent texture. Ceviche de pescado is often served as an appetizer or main course, and can be enjoyed with a variety of accompaniments such as crackers, tortilla chips, or rice.

Steps:
- Remove fish from refrigerator and cut into even chunks. There should be no bones or skin on the fish.
- Place fish in a glass dish with lime juice, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. The fish will cook in the lime juice and turn white.
- While the fish is cooking, chop tomatoes, cucumber, onion, cilantro, and jalapeno into even small pieces.

CEVICHE DE PESCADO (FISH SALAD COOKED IN LIME JUICE)
The appreciation of good food is one thing people all over the world have in common. When traveling around the world, dining on local cuisine is an important part of exploring different cultures and regions. On one of my first encounters with local cuisines from another country was in Lima, Peru. I had been invited there for business purposes by the then Minister of Health, Dr. Waldo Fernandez. Waldo and I had become friends when I was employed by St. Luke's/Texas Children's Hospital in Houston. As our friendship progressed, he had invited me to Peru, which I accepted My visit coincided with the convening of the Peruvian Congress of Cardiology at which I was invited to make a presentation. At the banquet that terminated the convention, I was introduced to the Peruvian National Drink - the "Pisco Sour." This drink was so delicious, I had to have the recipe and was given the original recipe by Waldo who had obtained it from the vineyard at Tabernero. I will publish this shortly. The next day, I was invited to visit the military hospital there in Lima by Dr. Jaime Contrerous, the Director of all the military hospitals in Peru. Dr. Contrerous invited me back into the patient exam area where he introduced me to a quite large gentleman on a treadmill. It turned out that this gentleman was the then "President for Life" or dictator. He was the last dictator of Peru before he stepped down and allowed free elections. "El Presidente" invited me to lunch at his personal golf course the next day. He sent his personal car to pick me up and deliver me to the golf course. When I arrived, I found a marvelous wonderland of flowers that I had never seen before. Birds of Paradise were everywhere. I was startled to see peons everywhere watering each flower by hand with huge water buckets. Other peons were cutting the grass on the course by hand using giant scissors! El Presidente had his staff set up tables on the 18th green and we were served lunch there. The first course turned out to be ceviche made with the local langostinos. Except for the sushi I had in Japan, I had never eaten raw fish before. Then El Presidente explained that the lime juice that was used in the preparation actually cooked the fish. It was so delicious, I asked for the recipe and was granted it.

PESCADO CEVICHE
Ceviche is a light and refreshing, chilled citrus-marinated seafood salad which originated in Peru. The acidity of the marinade denatures the protein structure of the fish, essentially "cooking" it. The result is a less fishy-tasting dish than other uncooked seafood. Note: Other types of fresh seafood (such as lobster, shrimp, scallops, octopus, etc) may be substituted for the fish, if desired. Always purchase the freshest seafood you can find, preferably sushi-grade.

Steps:
- Soak the fish in salted water for 10 minutes, gently pat dry with a paper towel. Cube the fish, and place in a shallow dish.
- Arrange the onions on top of the fish, and cover with the remaining ingredients. Allow to refrigerate at least 4 hours. Be sure to stir several times. The fish is done once the flesh turns white and opaque, and can be flaked slightly with a fork. This indicates that the acidity of the citrus has denatured the proteins in the fish- the same thing that happens when we "cook" in the traditional sense.
- Serve chilled, garnished with avocado, if desired.

CEVICHE
This recipe is a staple in Mexico. Raw seafood is cooked by the lime juice! Now don't wrinkle your nose! You would never know the seafood was not cooked prior to serving. Make sure to always use the freshest ingredients! You may substitute many types of seafood for scallops, for example: halibut, red snapper, flounder, or swordfish.

Steps:
- Rinse scallops and place in a medium sized bowl. Pour lime juice over the scallops. The scallops should be completely immersed in the lime juice. Chill the lime juice and scallops all day or overnight until scallops are opaque (you cannot see through them).
- Empty 1/2 of the lime juice from the bowl. Add tomatoes, green onions, celery, green bell pepper, parsley, black pepper, olive oil, and cilantro to the scallop mixture. Stir gently. Serve this dish in fancy glasses with a slice of lime hanging over the rim for effect.

Tips for Making Ceviche de Pescado:
- Choose the freshest fish possible. Look for fish that is firm to the touch, has clear eyes, and has no odor. Ask your fishmonger to recommend a good fish for ceviche. - Cut the fish into small pieces. This will help the fish to cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the marinade. - Use a variety of citrus juices for the marinade. This will give the ceviche a more complex flavor. - Add some chopped vegetables to the marinade, such as red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño. This will add color and flavor to the ceviche. - Let the fish marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will give the fish time to absorb the flavors of the marinade. - Serve the ceviche chilled. This will help to preserve the flavors of the fish and marinade.Conclusion:
Ceviche de pescado is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer party or potluck. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a light and healthy meal, give ceviche de pescado a try!
