Ceviche and beer is one of my all time favorites hot weather meals. Thank you Marcela, I now know how to make it at home. I followed the instructions to the T, except that I let the fish marinate in the lime juice for abut 3 hours just to make sure it was cooked. Also, to speed up the preparation, after dicing all the veggies, I decided to put the fillets into the blender (for a couple of seconds to chop up the fish. The consistency of the fish was much finer than I would of done with my dicing skills, therefore, I'm glad I used the blender.

I've eaten ceviche since I was a kid in Mexico. I have sampled the various preparation methods all over the US and Mexico. So many styles, different fish, different surrounding veggies and some fruits. This recipe most closely resembles what I consider the best combination of all components. As the other comments attest, there are many ways to prepare it. That makes this dish interesting. I havent been able to get the fish that was used in the original recipe I had in Guadalajara 46 years ago, another white fish. I've been making a combo of shrimp and halibut and also add green peppers. I can't get enough. I simply eat it straight out of the bowl, no chips, no mayo. It's a fabulous low carb dish. I wanna try cod now.

I made this ceviche with wahoo fish for my friends party... it was a big hit, delicious!

I also made this another time with cooked shrimp and cooked small scallops and included the clamato. I served this to friends that came over for dinner. It is absolutely awesome!

Absolutely fantastic recipe, except I cut back on the onions by about half and ditched the mayo part entirely (why add unnecessary fat to a naturally healthy and fresh dish?.
Also, to really let the flavor sink in, I left the fish in the lime juice for about 3 hours - rather than the recommended 15-20 minutes - and threw a few fresh jalepenos slices in there as well to give the fish a really nice kick.

I often crave ceviche but can't always splurge on more expensive kinds of fish and this recipe with wallet-friendly tilapia still hits the spot. I've served it for guests with guacamole, fresh pico de gallo and tortilla chips as a casual, dig-in kind of meal and I've eaten it alone with a fork. It's refreshing and healthy—perfect for hot summer days.

This was absolutely fabulous! I had enough left over to snack on for three days! Ate it as a dip with tostitos. Didn't use the mayo. I've made this 3 times and look forward to eating it each time. It's one of my favorite snacks with cocktails---or just a light lunch.

Don't be afraid of cooking fish in lime juice! We have loved this recipee and have made it almost weekly this summer since we saw it aired. Don't forget the mayo.. seems strange, but adds and extra sweetness to the overall flavor. Also we tried using cod and loved that. Cod seems to come out a little more meaty.

I have had ceviche in Mexico, Texas, Miami and now, I have had it homemade in Key West in my home this is absolutely delicious. I read all the reviews and it seems that some do not realize that by putting the fish in the lime juice that is what cooks it. I love cooking and this will be one of my dishes - I did add more hot sauce and I had a yellow bell pepper that needed to get used up so they went into the mix. I had no clamato so I used part clam juice and part tomato juice.

I didn't cut to fine because I didn't have the time. So the fish was ready in 1hr and a half. I didn't put cucumber because we are not used to having ceviche with it. I added olive oil. You just pour on it about 1-2 tablespoons. Also, when I watched the show, I was surprised to see Marcela eat it with mayonnaise. I had never heard or seen that! I was curious...I tried it and it's not bad! However, since I'm watching what I eat, I did not put mayo on the tostada. Even though I have had ceviche hundreds of times, I had never made it myself and Marcela gave me the courage to try to make it!!! Thank you!
