Ceviche De Corvina

When I lived in Panama the fishmongers came to your door with their ice chests. You could actually buy corvina or even already made ceviche from them for like a total of $2. This is the only recipe i've come across that DOES NOT have tomatoes in it!! the fisherman's ceviche NEVER had that in it and any store down there never had it in it that i can remember. now on to an empanada recipe.. (Cook time is refrigeration time)
