- 11.5 lbs sushi-grade sea bass or flounder, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 23/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 10 limes)
- 31/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 41 red onion, thinly sliced
- 52 jalapeños or ají amarillo, thinly sliced
- 61/2 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
- 71 teaspoon salt
- 81/2 teaspoon sugar
- 91 ear corn, kernels cut off
- 101 avocado, diced
- 11Corn nuts or tostones for serving
Instructions
- 1
Combine fish cubes, lime juice, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl. The acid will 'cook' the fish — you'll see it turn opaque from the outside in. Marinate for 10–15 minutes for a lightly 'cooked' texture or up to 25 minutes for more firm. Do not marinate too long or the texture becomes tough.
- 2
Rinse red onion slices briefly under cold water to remove harshness. Add to the fish along with jalapeños, corn kernels, sugar, and cilantro. Stir gently to combine.

Taste and adjust — it should be intensely sour, salty, and bright. Fold in avocado gently at the last moment. Serve immediately in chilled bowls with corn nuts or tostones on the side. Ceviche should always be served and eaten immediately.
