For a truly authentic seafood dish that is simple yet exquisite, here's a recipe detailing how to make ceviche. A national dish of Peru, ceviche has been a South American delicacy for generations.
Cut the fish in slices using a chef's knife or other large knife.
Cut the fish slices into cubes.
Add the lime or lemon juice to the fish cubes, making sure they are all covered in it.
Let the fish sit in the lime juice for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours in the fridge to cure. The time it takes will depend on your taste.
Drain the lime juice from the fish.
Add the onion, chilies, cilantro leaves, salt and pepper to the fish. Add some fresh lime juice (as much as you like).
Mix well.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes
Because ceviche consists of raw fish that is cured, it is best consumed immediately. However, it can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for a maximum of 2 days. As it continues to sit, the texture will change and may become unappetizing.
