Ceviche Recipe Help
For those who make ceviche, the question is - to use olive oil or not? I've used it in the past, but wondering how the fish will differ if I go straight lime juice.
I'm also open to any suggestions that you think make for a great ceviche mix! Looking at changing it up a bit... Thanks in advance...

If you don't, you'll have no body.
Do a search here - I've posted up a worthy ceviche recipe.

Yeah Blesker I have used Olive Oil in the past, but some recipes do not use it. I am curious to try something different. I usually mix the fish along with a few other items with the lime / olive oil and throw it into the refridgerator in a zip lock bag getting the air out first... Its always turned out pretty good, but thinking of changing it up a bit. We'll see gonna try to throw it together tonight and eat it tomorrow for dinner!!!

Secret I learned...
Here is a secret I learned from a fishing guide down south who took our mornings catch and made a batch of ceviche for the afternoon fishing trip.
After you cube up the fish, put them in a baggie with fresh lime juice only. Then change out the lime juice every hour for three hours. It is only the last hour that you throw in the onion, tomato, serrano, cilantro, spices. I add a touch of wortshorture (sp) and LA hot sauce. I also add green olives to mine! One short cut if you don't want to chop all the above ingredients, go to Taco Cabana and buy a couple off cups of thier chopped hot sauce and just add to the limed fish in the last step.
Bon Appotit!!

Fish...
My favorite is fresh caught trout, but I have used fresh red snapper and grouper as well. A seafood place in Port Isabel uses grouper, that is when I tried it and liked it also.

Mangrove snapper makes some good ceviche too!
I believe you meant, worchestershircestershire sauce. Sorry, but I'm picky when it comes to spelling.After you cube up the fish, put them in a baggie with fresh lime juice only.

Baja Ceviche
One med Spanish Mack filleted (Speckled Trout works as well but Smacks are traditional for this recipe). Scrape the meat off the skin with a fork and mash into a bowl. Squeeze on top 4 to 6 Key limes. You can substitute regular limes but I don't think it taste nearly as good.
Let it sit for about 30 to 45 minutes indoors or about 15 to 20 minutes in the sun. Turn it a couple of times during the cooking process. When the fish has turned white/opaque, add in;
1/2 a med white onion finely chopped
1 med tomato finely chopped
about a Tbsp of fresh chopped cilantro
1 or 2 finely chopped serrano peppers
1 finely chopped carrot. (Optional)
Mix well and serve with corn chips and Salsa Huichol. (Salsa Huilchol isn't the best by far but it is IMHO the best to serve with Ceviche.)

Re: Ceviche Recipe Help
A true ceviche does NOT have oil in it.
Re: Ceviche Recipe Help
Fastest method, Dice 1 pound of fresh fish, juice 6 limes let fish soak 20 minutes add fresh cilantro and two pints of HEB's fresh Pico. I make this all the time and friends and fellow yakkers have said it's the best .
Re: Ceviche Recipe Help
Ive never tried olive oil in mine and its always been great. Also fresh flounder works even better than fresh trout if you ask me...

Re: Ceviche Recipe Help
I do not use olive oil I take 1 to 2 lbs (smack,trout,flounder, or any other lightly flavored fish) put it in a gallon zip lock bag I use a lot of fresh limes and am a fan of switching out the juice in the process. I then make a large batch of pico using fresh and petite diced tomatoes( saves time dicing fresh tomatos) i will even add a can of hot rotel to spice it up, 1 to 3 cloves garlic, 3 to 4 jalapeños (ceranos are for the ladies) I leave seeds and membranes in I like it spicy, half an onion, when making pico I always squeeze 1 to 2 limes in but when making ceviche it may not be necessary, add salt to draw out juice and at times a little black pepper. Let both sit overnight seperately then combine the two and to give "body" to it a friend born and raised in Mexico told me to add spicy v8 to your liking.
To the person who boils the fish, you are the safest of us all, as a university trained wildlife biologist I should say that any meat should be cooked to 150 degrees F in order to kill any parasites. Everyone else is risking it. As water temps increase parasite loads will increase exponentially. But to quote some retarded and unimaganitive raper to stupid to say carpe deim YOLO

Re: Ceviche Recipe Help
Because lemons are acidic, this is what cooks the seafood. I generally use raw baby shrimp and scallops as well as fresh diced seabass.
Ingredients:
diced yellow onion
diced red bell peppers
chopped cilantro
and fresh squeezed lemons
Method:
Combine all ingredients and let them soak over night. When you are ready to eat, strain liquid and eat with favorite crackers
