Tilapia Ceviche Recipe (+)

Directions

Cut fish into small pieces.
Squeeze lime halves over the fish pieces in a large bowl. (A hand juicer works nicely for this.)
Be sure all of the pieces are completely covered with lime juice.
Cover with plastic wrap and set it in the refrigerator to marinate overnight or for at least 12 hours.
Note: The acidity of the lime juice cooks, or cures, the tilapia.
Remove from the refrigerator, do not drain.
Chop onion, cilantro, tomatoes, avocado, jalapeÃ±os and add it into the marinated fish.
Mix in olive oil and salt
Serve with assorted crackers as an appetizer.
