I’ve just watched an episode of ceviche with red snapper from Campeche it looked delicious and I am going to try to make it for my family including the coconut shrimp.

Thank you Pati for all delicious recipes you share.

I am from Guatemala residing in Southern California and the way that we make ceviche is:
About 4 strips of white sole cut in cubes and marinated with the juice of 6 limes for about an hour.
In the meantime chop about a cup of cilantro and 1\4 cup of fresh meant,
2 tomatoes chopped and 3 chopped scallions.
1 avocado in cuves.
1 chopped jalapeño (optional)
1\2 C of olive oil, 1/4 C of distilled white vinegar, 2 Tbl of soy sauce, 1 Tbl of angostura.
1 ts. of salt and 1 ts. of pepper or to taste.
Add the juice of about 5 or 6 limes.
Mix everything in a bowl.
Drain the juice of the white fish and add to the bowl.
Serve in tostadas or eat just with tortilla chips.

Thank you for this recipe, it was so good! We really enjoyed the mix of flavors and the complexity between sweet mango, sour tomatillos, and rich avocado.
Love your show too! So fun seeing how sincere you are to learn about the people and food you travel to interview.

Hi Pati! I enjoy your show very much! I wanted to ask something. You don’t cook the fish in this recipe? I thought that the fish was cooked at least in lemon juice. Thanks!

Muchas gracias por la receta bien rica Pati! I made this the other night thinking that “to die for” was just a cute title. This was the BEST ceviche I think I have ever had! You were not lying!
When I made the leche de tigre, I thought it was too much and that I would have to drain it. But after letting it marinate in the refrigerator about 2 hours, the liquid was reduced to the perfect amount.
Again, yummy!
