Ceviche is wonderful |
Ceviche is also seasoned with chopped hot peppers, onion, fruit, avocado, cilantro, and other herbs. Grated coconut is added sometimes. The general rule of less is more applies. This is a dish best done with a limited number of contrasting flavors.
White fish such as snapper, wahoo, mahi, toothfish, monkfish, and halibut are generally preferred for aesthetic purposes of the fish turning bright white by the citric acid, it is often done with octopus, shrimp, squid, or other fish.
Chicken is sometimes used, especially in Guam, but it is cooked in advance.
Swordfish, cod, and eel are generally not good for ceviche. If a sushi bar does not serve it raw, you should not serve it raw. Most sushi fish is frozen first, usually in a box freezer, to kill any parasites. Lemon and lime juice alone will not get rid of parasites.
