A no-cook recipe great for a hot summer day. Marinated in lime juice, the fish takes on a smooth and tender texture, combined with a bit of crunch from the onion, a bit of heat from the jalapenos, a bit of coolness from the tomatoes, and a bit of creaminess from the avocado…This mixed seafood ceviche is a real fiesta in your mouth!

What seafood to choose

This mixed seafood ceviche recipe calls for a mix of scallops, shrimp and white fish. Cod will work well, but I often use tilapia since it’s cheap and readily available. Any kind of mild tasting semi-firm white fish is fine though: sea bass, grouper, flounder, snapper…

If you live near a coast and know your fish monger by first name, by all means buy fresh. Where I live, frozen fish is my first choice as it guarantees freshness!

You can make variations of this dish by omitting scallops, shrimp, or using just one type of seafood. I personally like the combination of the three which makes it more interesting.
