Ingredients
- 2 pounds fresh sea bass or flounder fillets, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 cup chopped and seeded tomatoes
- 1 habanero pepper, seeded and finely minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 red onion, finely diced
Instructions
- In a large glass bowl, combine all of the ingredients, except for the onion. Toss well and put the onion on top. Cover with plastic wrap and allow it to sit in the refrigerator for 1 1/2 hours, then stir to incorporate the onion. Let sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 more hour and up to 3 hours.
- Cook’s Note: During the marinating process the fish will change from translucent to white in color and be opaque. Try to avoid getting the lime membrane in the juice as it can be bitter.

Great, added 1lb yellow fin Tuna, and added some cilantro
Super yummy! Have had ceviche in a restaurant, but never tried to make it myself. I’m on the Ideal Protein diet, so this recipe was perfect! Let my daughter have a little taste, and she wanted more! Will try this as an appetizer next time. Thanks Clare!
I did this with Mahi Mahi – frozen fillets from Costco/Kirkland. I also substituted jalapenos since I have them on hand and we prefer them. really good stuff. I’ll be making this often. Freezing the raw fish makes sure there are no creepy crawlies in the fish, which happened once when I bought seabass to make ceviche in 2007. put me off the stuff til now. Thaw the fish halfway and then cut it up. makes it easier to get good little pieces. just make sure it thaw all the way in the fridge before you eat.
The best ceviche ever and so simple. Miss your show Claire!
Going by ingredients, it looks wonderful
Excellent with a couple a revisions. It really bothers me when people post negative reviews when they have altered the ingredients. I am however, posting a great review with a few necessary adjustments. I was not able to get sea bass but my fish monger assured me that halibut would be a great subtitute (which it was). I also used jalapeno peppers as I had them in my crisper. (I used seeds and ribs to add that additional kick). Even with those changes, it was absolutely fantastic! I served it over sliced avocado, topped with chopped fresh cilantro. My husband and I just loved it. I can’t wait to make it again with sea bass and habanero. Once again, Claire another winner!
Love it
This is the BEST Ceviche I have ever eaten! It is superb!! Easy, tasty and the peppers give it just the right “kick”.
