Cerviche - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I've searched through all the posts, seen the recipes, but yet wonder.

If I'm blessed enough to have my choice of 3 fish (WSB, YT, Butt), which seems to be the best to use for fresh ceviche?

Go with the Halibut.
The less fatty meats seem to work out better.

I agree Halibut is good but WSB makes some damn good ceviche as well. Keep the YT for sushi

. I've also made it plenty of times with rockfish and sandbass.

I also soak the fish in lemon Juice, I only do it for 1-2 hours, I then drain the lemon juice, add the fish to the Salsa Fresca and add lime juice typically 4-7 limes depending on the amount. Do it to taste. Draining the Lemon Juice gives it a fresher taste in my opinion. You can eat immediately or refrigerate for later.

Though I like ceviche in any shape or form, I've come to prefer Habaneros instead of Jalapenos or Serranos in the mix. I like the flavor much better and it adds color. Try them some time.

I like mine mostly fish with less ingredients. Peruvian Style.

Fish
Lime
Habanero(minced fine)
Garlic(pinch minced fine)
Cilantro (pinch minced fine)
Sea Salt
Fresh crushed pepper
Red Onion (Julienned match stick size added before serving so they add crunch and are not soggy.)
