What is ceviche?
Ceviche is one of the best side dishes for hot summer days. It’s a delicious fresh seafood dish that originates in South America, Peru to be precise.
This easy recipe combines fresh citrus juice, raw fish, fresh vegetables and herbs. Peruvian ceviche makes a great appetizer when served with your favorite tortilla chips or a fantastic main dish when served over white rice.
Ceviche is best when made with the freshest ingredients! We used fresh caught ocean salmon from our most recent fishing trip in Prince Rupert.

The Best Ceviche Recipe!
This recipe makes about three cups of cerviche depending on the size of your vegetables. You could easily half this recipe to serve fewer people.
We like to use Roma tomatoes because they have the most flesh of all the varieties and don’t make this dish too juicy.
Cilantro and lime can be added to your liking but we always think the more cilantro, the better. Fresh cilantro and lime juice is a must have in order to get the crisp, fresh flavour that makes this the best ceviche recipe!
We first experienced ceviche when we ordered it as an appetizer at the Cactus Club. At the time it was served on a rectangular tray surrounded by crispy tortilla chips.
How to serve ceviche:
- Once made, ceviche is best served in a bowl with crunchy tortillas chips for dipping.
- You could also serve it with homemade pita chips, rice cakes or plantain chips.
- For an easy dinner, fill a small bowl with black beans or rice and top with a generous portion of ceviche.
- We could eat this yummy appetizer by the spoonful!
Alternate ways to prepare:
- Sea bass, mahi mahi or any white fish may be used in replacement of the shrimp or salmon. It really just comes down to personal taste.
- Orange juice may be used instead of lemon and lime. The citric acid in the fruit is what cures the raw seafood.
- Chili peppers or bell pepper is also a popular addition to this seafood dish.
- Sweet potatoes, cherry tomatoes or corn kernels could also be added.
