Tips:

Choose the freshest fish possible. The fresher the fish, the better the ceviche will taste. If you can, buy fish that was caught the same day you plan to make ceviche.
Use a variety of fish. Different types of fish have different flavors and textures, so using a variety will give your ceviche more depth of flavor. Some good choices include shrimp, scallops, octopus, and whitefish like tilapia or cod.
Cut the fish into small pieces. This will help the ceviche cook evenly and will make it easier to eat.
Marinate the fish in citrus juice for at least 30 minutes. This will help to "cook" the fish and will give it a bright, tangy flavor. You can use lemon juice, lime juice, or a combination of both.
Add other ingredients to taste. Common additions to ceviche include onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and jalapeños. You can also add avocado, mango, or pineapple for a sweeter flavor.
Serve ceviche chilled. Ceviche is best served cold, so make sure to chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Ceviche is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for summer. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a ceviche that is sure to impress your friends and family.
