A traditional Honduran dish — ceviche hondureño is the bright, bracing taste of the Honduran coast: fresh corvina cured in lime, tossed with tomato, red onion, and culantro. On the north coast it is often finished with a touch of ketchup and Worcestershire for the signature rosy ‘ceviche rojo,’ served with crackers or tostones.

Step by stepInstructions
- Place the fish cubes in a glass bowl and cover with the lime juice and a pinch of salt, stirring gently
- Refrigerate for fifteen to twenty minutes, stirring once, until the fish turns opaque and white
- Drain off most of the lime juice, leaving the fish lightly coated
- Add the red onion, tomato, culantro, and minced chile, and season with salt and pepper
- Stir in the ketchup and Worcestershire if making the red-style ceviche, adjusting to taste
- Chill for ten minutes, fold in the avocado, and serve cold with crackers or tortilla chips
💡 Chef tips & storage
The fish needs only fifteen to twenty minutes in the lime — longer makes it rubbery. Shrimp, octopus, or a mix of seafood are classic variations.
