Ingredients
- 1 lb firm white fish corvina, snapper, or sea bass, cubed into small pieces
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice about 5–6 limes
- 1/2 small red onion thinly sliced
- 1/2 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup corn nuts or crispy corn optional, for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced red onion and red pepper
- Add the cubed fish and gently mix
- Stir in the cilantro, salt, and pepper
- Pour the fresh lime juice over the mixture until the fish is fully covered
- Mix well to combine all ingredients
- Cover and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes, or until the fish turns opaque
- Stir once or twice during marinating for even “cooking”
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed
- Serve cold with corn nuts or crispy corn on top if desired
Notes
- Always use very fresh or sushi-grade fish for the best flavor and safety
- Do not marinate for too long, or the fish can become rubbery

- You can substitute fish with cooked shrimp if preferred
