This is my usual ceviche, and is one of the best I've had... however, I use some bay scallops instead of just fish, and key limes instead of regular Mexican limes, they aren't as bitter.

Excellent ceviche. If the lime flavor is to strong add a TBsp or two of white vinegar.

I thank you because you put the "real" recipe of "Peruvian Ceviche", as you say "simple" but delicious, thats it. Ceviche basics is just Fresh tender fish, red onion, salt, and lime juice (excellent how do you explain the point 4 about squeezing it, that's true). Should be accompained with "choclo" fresh boiled corn, and boiled or baked sweet potato or yucca. I can recommend you and very fine peruvian food site "yanuq.com/english/ is really good. Thanks again, all the best.

Really good! I use dover sole for this and a little less garlic but everything else is really how true ceviche is! Try adding one spoonful of milk just before serving, it will give the juice more texture and will be easier on your stomach. Also pour some of the juice in a shot glass for some "leche de tigre" tiger's milk...to go with the ceviche. It is very powerful and tasty! That's how they serve ceviche in Peru!
