Method

  • step 1

    In a large glass bowl, combine the fish, lime juice and onion. The juice should completely cover the fish; if not, add a little more. Cover with cling film and place in the fridge for 1 hr 30 mins.

  • step 2

    Remove the fish and onion from the lime juice (discard the juice) and place in a bowl. Add the olives, chilies, tomatoes, coriander and olive oil, stir gently, then season with a good pinch of salt and sugar. This can be made a couple of hours in advance and stored in the fridge. Serve with tortilla chips to scoop up the ceviche and enjoy with a glass of cold beer.

question

How long will the ceviche last once cured and then refrigerated? Made with fresh fish.

Hi, thanks for your question. Ceviche should be eaten fairly soon after being prepared - ideally within about two hours. You can keep it in the fridge for a little longer but you'll find the texture can become a bit mushy if kept for more than a few hours. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good…

Superb! Beautiful delicate flavour. I used sea bass and added a few (cooked) prawns.

Fantastic!! The best civiche I've made so far. The olives are a surprisingly good touch. All the flavors blend well.

question

Is it really safe to eat raw haddock? A brief google search suggests not.... Or does the marinating in lime juice help make it safer?

You are eating raw fish, so using high quality fish and eating within the day will reduce your risk.

The acid doesn’t remove a significant amount of potential toxins and parasites from the fish, merely denaturing the proteins on the outside of the fish.

This is not to say this dish is dangerous,…

instead of tortilla chipos which have a high carb and GL - use Lo-Dough, slice it up into triangles and fry. time to low carb dip!
