Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a glass or ceramic bowl, combine 12 oz diced fresh white fish with 3/4 cup fresh lime juice, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, and 2 tbsp gin. Stir gently, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour until the fish turns opaque, indicating it is 'cooked' by the citrus.
  2. Step 2: After curing, drain about half of the citrus liquid from the fish mixture.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 medium peeled and diced cucumber, 1 diced ripe avocado, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, and 1 small finely chopped seeded jalapeño pepper to the fish.
  4. Step 4: Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper, stirring gently to combine all ingredients without mashing the avocado.
  5. Step 5: Chill the ceviche for an additional 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Serve with tortilla chips or over lettuce leaves.
