Method

Prep the fish and lime

Rinse the Firm White Fish under cold water and pat it very dry with paper towels. Juice about 10 to 12 limes to get 240 ml of Lime Juice, then set the juice aside while you prep the rest.

Chop the vegetables

Wash and dry the Roma Tomatoes, Serrano Chile, Cucumber, and Cilantro. Peel the Red Onion. On a clean board, cut the fish into 1 cm cubes. Seed and dice the tomatoes, finely dice the onion, finely chop the serrano chile (seeding it first if you want less heat), peel, seed, and dice the cucumber, and chop the cilantro.

Marinate the fish

Put the fish in a glass or ceramic bowl and pour over the lime juice. Season with Kosher Salt and Black Pepper, then stir gently just until every piece is coated. Let it marinate for 10 minutes, give it one gentle stir, then marinate for 10 more minutes until the fish looks opaque around the edges and lightly firm.

Assemble and serve

Fold the tomato, onion, serrano, cucumber, and cilantro into the marinated fish. Taste and add a little more salt if needed, then spoon the ceviche onto Tostadas. Dice the Avocado and pile it on top, then finish with Lime Wedges for squeezing over each portion. Serve immediately.
