Spicy Fish Ceviche- Ceviche de Pescado

Growing up with Mexican food inspired by Northern Mexico, I did not grow up eating a lot of fish. I stepped way out of my comfort zone when I began preparing fish ceviche 10 years ago. This post contains links to products. We may receive commission for purchases made through these links.

Growing up on beans, eggs and tortillas!

The only time I remember mom preparing any dishes with fish was during Lent before Easter. My siblings and I still joke about how we carefully would chew the pan seared fish mom prepared back then. There were always fine fish bones through out. Our regular meals consisted of some chicken, ground beef, pork, eggs, beans, rice and tortillas.

My ceviche recipes have evolved over the years!

I am pretty confident when it comes to preparing fish ceviche. Well any ceviche really. It wasn’t always this way though. The key is to keep testing recipes until you get it right. Quality seafood is a good place to start!

I purchase a variety of hot chile peppers on a regular basis. My first choice and favorite hot pepper is te serrano. Second, habanero and third, red fresno! Jalapeños are delicious too, but sometimes leave me desiring flavor and more heat, lol!

A few short years ago I was fortunate enough to taste the wild caught Alaskan fish from Sitka Salmon Shares. I was hooked! I am excited to be affiliated with them. From April 1st- June 30th 2020 place your order using the special code “LaPina” and receive a $25.00 dollar discount on your share, except for “Taste of Summer” share.

The fish is packaged in a vacuum seal soon after being caught. When you receive your share, it arrives perfectly insulated and frozen. Transfer to your own freezer until you are ready to use.

Ready To Eat!

This is perfect as an appetizer for 4 people or as a starter for 2 people. Or if you are like me, make it your main meal! Lol!
