I love ceviche tostadas. Good choice. I tend to favor mixtos. White fish of your choice (do NOT use cold water fishes prone to worms, like cod or ling), shrimp, octopus (canned is OK) and maybe even some scallops. The rest is salt, lime juice, red onion, cilantro, minced hot pepper, tomato. Optional ingredients include chopped cucumber and even a little finely chopped radish.

>>6360786
Do you mix the shrimp in with everything? I've read that it gets nasty if left in the lime juice too long

>>6360807
I make ceviche about an hour before I plan on eating it. Never had a problem. If you're concerned you could always blanch the shrimp beforehand.

>>6360820
Most recipes I've read for ceviche called for a 4 hr marinade. If 1 is enough I'm not concerned, I just read somewhere online that shrimp left in the marinade too long will get hard or slimey or something.

>>6360860
Peruvian here, I leave it in the juice for 20 minutes, you want the fish to have consistency.

>>6360860
If you're letting raw seafood sit around on anything but ice for 4 hours of course it will get nasty.

>Was thinking yellowfin tuna + red onion + avocado + mango
Umm, that's just a raw fish and fruit salad, not ceviche. There's no way there is enough acid in that combo to break down proteins.

>>6360880
One would hope lime juice and salt was implied.
>>6360772
Try scallop, papaya and corn nuts.

Since the acidic juices used are pretty standard I didn't feel the need to list them. I just want to try some new fish/veg/serving options, I got the marinade down.

>>6360940
Eh, but imo, it's best to switch it up based off what ingredients you use.

>>6361103
What would you suggest? Most of the time the marinade is pretty much identical in the recipe.

>>6361138
Different varieties of lime, mixing lemon and lime/varying the amounts of each, adding other citrus.

Playing with the herbs like throwing in something like tarragon.

Just have some fun with it.

Habanero
Ginger
cilantro+mint
garlic

Sometimes I use pineapple or coconut milk with tamarind if i wanna try something new

aguachile is better than ceviche, crudo and tiraditos though

>>6361388
>aguachile
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH mexican always make me laugh

>>6361616
>>aguachile
the incomplete cocktel

octopus in ceviche is awesome

>>6360772
When I was young my dad made it with Tilapia, lime , diced cilantro, onions, jalapenos, and tomatoes

We'd eat it on tostadas with avocado slices and pic related and ketchup

Get the black label, the yellow label has no spice

>>6361616
I'm not even Mexican

>>6362893
>aguachile
>cocktel

lol no for once, soda or ketchup is not required

Peruvians have one thing down and that is their ceviche.
>tfw no peruvian ceviche to consume rn

>>6362979
peruvian food can be overrated but yes ceviche is pretty good

>>6362979

>>6363023

i like aguachile and tiradito are my favorites.
not traditional but im a huge fan of goong chae nam pla, a thai dish which is basicaly ceviche

fish wise i like shrimp, clams, white fish, and octopus allot for ceviche

i like to trade the lime some times for grapefruit,pomelo, calamansi, and sour orange some times

>>6363698
sounds interesting
something new day hipsters eat right up

OP here, just got back from the market. Going to make a few kinds of ceviche tonight based on what was fresh/good looking at the market and suggestions from the thread.

>>6363698
>sour orange

fug I wish I had read this before I left.

>>6363904
using lime is pretty hipster since the incans used chicha

Its ceviche time, /ck/

And done. Ended up making three different kinds.

Top
>tuna/avocado/mango/red onion
Left
>marlin/cucumber/avocado/red onion/raddish
Right
>catfish/kale/tomato/red onion

Tuna and mango turned out best but they were all excellent.

>>6365447
>NO PEPPERS

why

>>6365516
Forgot to mention them! There are two jalapenos split between the three of them

A few more pictures

The radish was a little pungent for me but holy shit, marlin ceviche is great. I'll have to keep that in mind for next time.

Was trying for a deep south ceviche with this one.

I used Ataulfo (yellow baby) mangoes and sashimi grade yellowfin tuna. I should have julienned the onions but oh well
