Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb yellowtail fillets skin removed and cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 cup fresh lime juice approximately 8-10 limes
  • ½ red onion finely diced
  • 1 jalapeño seeded and finely diced (optional, for heat)
  • 1 large tomato finely diced
  • 1 ripe mango finely diced
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 ripe avocado diced (for serving)
  • Tortilla chips or tostadas for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine the cubed yellowtail and fresh lime juice. Make sure the fish is fully submerged in the juice. Cover and refrigerate for about 2 hours, until the fish is opaque and "cooked" by the acidity.
  • Drain off about half of the lime juice.
  • Add the diced red onion, jalapeño, tomato, and mango to the bowl. Toss to combine.
  • Stir in the chopped cilantro, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the ceviche chilled, garnished with the diced avocado and accompanied by tortilla chips or tostadas.

Notes

Use a non-reactive bowl. This is important because if you are using a metal bowl it will give your fish a metallic and off-putting taste. It’s best to use either a glass or ceramic bowl for this dish.
Keep your fish as cold as possible. If the fish is warm or left out for too long it can start to go bad and that taste can translate to your ceviche. Take the fish out of the refrigerator right before you are ready to marinate and serve it.
Wait before adding the avocado. Wait until you are ready to serve your ceviche before tossing in the avocados. This is to help prevent them from turning brown too quickly.
