Sea Bass Ceviche Recipe

Experience the vibrant flavors of Costa Rica with this incredible Sea Bass Ceviche recipe! Inspired by my trip to the beautiful beaches of Costa Rica where I savored this dish nightly, this recipe delivers a perfectly "cooked" sea bass marinated in zesty lime and lemon juices. Unlike traditional ceviche recipes that call for a shorter marinating time, I prefer a longer, 3-hour cure to ensure the fish is thoroughly cooked and bursting with fresh, citrusy flavor. Get ready to impress your guests with this authentic, easy-to-make ceviche – a true taste of paradise!

How to Make Sea Bass Ceviche

  1. Cut 1 pound of sea bass fillet into ½-inch cubes.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the sea bass cubes with ¾ cup of fresh lime juice and ¼ cup of fresh lemon juice.
  3. Gently stir to ensure the fish is fully coated. Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or up to 4 hours for a more pronounced "cooked" texture.
  4. While the fish marinates, finely chop ½ red onion, ½ red bell pepper, ½ cup of fresh parsley, and ½ cup of fresh cilantro.
  5. After 3 hours, add the chopped red onion, red bell pepper, parsley, and cilantro to the marinated sea bass.
  6. Gently stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for an additional 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Before serving, stir in 2 tablespoons of high-quality olive oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  9. Serve your refreshing Sea Bass Ceviche immediately with crisp crackers and a bed of fresh lettuce for a truly authentic Costa Rican experience.
