Red Snapper Ceviche with Guacamole
Ceviche is a Latin American dish featuring citrus-marinated seafood. In this recipe the acid in the lime juice begins to effectively “cook” the fish.
This recipe was everything I hoped it would be and more! The flavour and textures all melded perfectly. The firm, fresh fish, the smooth avocado, the crunch of the chips…
The fish lost any of its “fishiness” whatsoever after being treated, and the onion, jalapeno and lime combined to make a really refreshing dish. A deck, some lapping waves, and a Corona and it would have been darn near perfect!
