Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1 pound fresh white fish (cut into small cubes (see notes below for recommended fish types))
- 1/2 cup red onion ( finely diced)
- 1 cup fresh lime juice (about 6 – 7 large limes)
- 1 large firm mango ( cut into 1/2 inch cubes (Optional))
- 2 serrano peppers (very finely diced)
- 2 medium roma tomatoes (seeded, finely diced)
- 1 cucumber (peeled, seeded, cut into small cubes)
- 1 medium avocado ( cut into 1/2-inch cubes)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro ( finely chopped )
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 3/4 teaspoons black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Place the fish, red onion and lime juice in a medium glass or plastic bowl.
- 2
Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours to “cook” the fish. Note: The lime juice must cover the fish completely for evenly “cooking.”

Once it has cooked thru (you'll know by looking at it and the texture has turned opaque), add the remaining ingredients and mix very gently to combine. It is very important to do it delicately so that the fish continue to hold its shape.
