The Ceviche is a very tasty dish for whom like raw seafood,you can serve it as an "appetizer". I like it very much and I have prepared this dish many times!!. I would suggest this preparation: put cut fresh tender fish (ex.tilapia) in a bowl, add some ice cubes (3-5 enough),chopped garlic and salt. Then add lime juice (juice of 5 squeezed key limes per lb of fish, aprox), pepper and cilantro.Let it set for 10 min. Taste juice to check flavor.Place onion over fish and serve with slices of boiled corn in the cob, sweet potatoes and leaves of lettuce. Enjoy!!

Retired world traveler. I have collected recipes from many of the places I have been. Not the recipes from the local 5 star restaraunts but the cuisine that the REAL people eat! Lots of interesting stuff out there people eat!
Love to try out those recipes I have collected now that I have the time. Only problem is finding the original ingredients.
