Mahi Mahi Ceviche

This mouthwatering recipe produces slaw that is eerily similar to the well-known coleslaw at a well-known chain of fried chicken eateries!

Followed the recipe as is. Just added 2 ounces pineapple juice. Tasty. Healthy. Delicious. Thanks!
Hunter Romero
Great! Used cod, added tomatoes and onions and left out orange slices. Would definitely make again!
Frank Walton
Great base recipe for ceviche. Made a few times. I like changing up the fish/vegetable ratio and leaving out the oranges just based on personal tastes, but i found this to be a great starting place.
Karen Mejia
Excellent

I used everything, except the Jalapeño pepper. I couldn’t find any; so instead of salt, I replaced it with Jalapeño salt. Being from Florida, now living in Oklahoma, I grew up eating a lot of Cuban, Jamaican and Caribbean dishes; so I am a fan of spices. I added Orange Peel, ‘Slap ya Mama’ spice and a dash of the Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning.

Used crab and shrimp instead of fish. Awesome!

I used frozen(thawed) mahi mahi-it was excellent. reccomend an avocado that is on the “firmer” side and I added a couple tbl spoons of red onion. I will definitely make again.

I’ve been looking for the right Ceviche recipe. This was excellent. I followed the recipe exactly and it was a hit! Thanks, Chef John!
Jessica Lewis
I made it with shrimp and green onions. Doubled everything but the lemon and lime. It’s delicious!

We liked this recipe. My first time making ceviche. It was just a little too acidic for my taste, otherwise it was very tasty. I made this pretty much exactly as directed. I did drain most of the lime/lemon juice before mixing the rest of the ingredients. I also used an unripe or hard avocado so it would hold up better.

Love! Love! Love this ceviche! I’ve made it several times and this last time I added 1/3 cup of juice from a juice orange and it added a nice touch.
Joshua Wilson
Thank you, Chef John! This ceviche was delicious!
Heather Thompson
I have made this recipe many times, sometimes tweaking just a bit, and it’s always the best. I’ve used mahi mahi and halibut and also adding scallops at times. the best!
Jeffery Edwards
Very good, great with Tostitos scoops.
Kimberly Rasmussen
This was fabulous. I prefer this type of fish to others I have tried. It’s just right tender, but not chewy like scallops or shrimp tend to be. I cut down on the radish.
Robert Rios
Civiche was bomb!
Jennifer Torres
Awesome! Came out perfect! Our first attempt with cerviche 🙂
Christine Andrews
Made no changes, but I sliced everything a lot smaller than the pictures on here. Make sure you get a firm avocado so the chunks don’t fall apart when you mix the ingredients.
James Hopkins
Loved it.. left out the orange…

I used fresh albacore tuna I found on sale at Whole Foods for $8 a lb. I used a whole jalapeño, minced, about twice as much as called for, but thought it could have used more. A wonderful dish, easy to prepare, can make it several hours before serving except for mixing the last parts in. We loved it!
