Patty Saveurs

Peruvian ceviche is a very simple recipe, here I made mine with sea bass, lime juice, red chili pepper and spices. Make your ceviche with the seafood you like best and garnish it with your favorite ingredients like pineapple, mango, radishes, so refreshing and delicious, perfect appetizer or starter for al fresco dinners.

Sea bass is the best fish to use to make ceviche but any white fish you like will do, you will need fresh skinless boneless sea bass fillet.

If you can’t find skinless fillets, you might want to freeze the fish fillets 10 to 15 minutes, it will somewhat stiffen the fillet, making it easier to slide a sharp knife between the flesh and skin to remove it.

In ceviche the fish must not be cooked by lemon, the lemon is used as a seasoning and the fish must be raw. Therefore, once you have assembled all the ingredients, the ceviche should be served within 10 to 15 minutes.

To make this appetizer ahead, you can make the marinade (called tiger milk) and assemble the ingredients except fish about 2 hours in advance, you can also cut the fish at the same time, chill both the marinade and fish into separate bowls covered with plastic wrap until ready to serve.

Adjust the ingredients to make these appetizer cups a delicious starter or a light meal.
