ceviche

Very nice.

All I gotta say is that cilantro is the shit!!

I really like a plain ceviche mixed with salsa/pico de gallo eaten on tortilla chips.

Salsa:
onions
tomatoes
cilantro
lime
lemon
garlic
any hot pepper
vinegar
salt
pepper
any other vegetables you like - cucumber, celery etc

I usually just use tomato, cilantro, onion, and garlic.

Ceviche Juice: Enough to cover fish
fish, scallops, octopus, cuttlefish, shrimp or all combined.
lemon
lime
salt
pepper
garlic

Let ceviche cure overnight in a bowl, and salsa sit overnight as well. Make more salsa than needed because usually half of it never makes it overnight.

Drain ceviche juice, also called leche del tigre (milk of the tiger), I like to drink it.

Mix fish into salsa

probably my favorite thing to do with fish i spear (depending on species) is make ceviche. I jsut wanted to share how i usually do it and then maybe get some feedback on alternative recipes and maybe some of you all's favorite types of fish to use in ceviche. (the picture below is one serving from a much larger bowl)

I use (and proportions are really relative to the amount of fish, and this was one seventeen inch mutton from sunday that i vacuum sealed)
2:1 ratio red to yellow bell peppers
garlic minced
habenros minced (i use alot casue ii like spicy, for this amount of fish i used two with seeds removed)
red onion
And lots of cilantro
To cure it i use (again for this amount of fish) 1 cup mixed lemon, lime, and tangerine juice from trees in the yard. I wouldnt usually recommend using tangerine juice but these are very acidic and cure the fish well.
well thats how i do it feel free to tell your own methods.

Mmmm, yummy! that´s a great recipe, try the same recipe with (pre-boiled) shrimps and tostadas(dry hard tortillas) I am so getting a ceviche tomorrow. Thank you for the recipe!!

I also add dry cummin and oregano, cummin, cilantro and lemons go nicely.

That's pretty much the same recipe I use. It is definiely my favorite

The "leche del tigre" sounds like it might be a good base to make some cheladas:thumbsup2:

Those are good recipes, I also usually add one freshly squeezed orange to the mixture, gives it an added sweet taste.

The best Ceviche I have ever had is a Peruvian stlye usually called tiraditos. They are sashimi style cuts in lemon/lime mixture with an Aji Amarillo Sauce. I don't believe they use cilantro. It is the best I have had.

I learn one style of ceviche that is called gaspacho from an old cuban friend in puerto rico. The cuts are different and is a little easier to make. Is really good with Mahi Mahi(Dorados) I will try to get the recipe. I know is almost all the same ingredients without the orange portion lots of onions and green peppers and straight limes/lemons on it.. Sliced thin meat and it just rest in the mixture for only an hour before ready to eat. It's served cold and it has a splash of soy sauce (very little) Have you guys heard of that style before my cuban friends? I ate it in the boat right after we land the fish. Really Yummiy

I also have added passion fruit juice and a can of mixex tropical fruits.

Best ceviche I ever had was made with..........

Barracuda:@

Is Ceviche House still open? You Miami guys. It's out on Kendall I believe. It's been a long time.

Also, Monster, Campechana!!!

Scrapes from the bones of the big muttons, wahoo and macks are great for ceviche, but the best one, parrotfish.

I'll keep that in mind Pucho, I always do scrapes. Parrotfish, hmmm..

When I lived in Texas, we used to fish Bob Hall pier for sharks and we would carry the ingredients so we could make ceviche right there on the pier. Blacktip or a small hammer make very good ceviche, great with white corn tortilla chips.:)

We generally mix up the ingredients ahead of time and the first fish that's shot (small snapper, tripletail, trigger, etc.) is lunch. My favorite style is similar to the 1st recipe, but with jalapenos

Habaneros and jalapeños are easy to grow in your back yard? Do they require pots and special treatment? How long before they start producing?

Thanks Steven.
