  • Cut the fish into small pieces. This will help the ceviche to cook evenly and quickly.
  • Marinate the fish in citrus juice. This will help to tenderize the fish and give it a bright, tangy flavor. Use a mixture of lime juice, lemon juice, and orange juice for the best flavor.
  • Add other ingredients to the ceviche. Common additions include onions, cilantro, tomatoes, and peppers. You can also add other fruits, such as mangoes or pineapple.
  • Serve the ceviche chilled. Ceviche is best served chilled, so make sure to refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
