A traditional Baja California dish — Ceviche de Pescado Baja is the sunshine version of ceviche: firm white fish cooked in fresh lime, tossed with tomato, cucumber, red onion, and cilantro, and finished with avocado. In Ensenada it is served in a chilled glass or on a crisp tostada, always with a bottle of hot sauce within reach. Few dishes capture the Baja coast in a spoonful like this one.

Step by stepInstructions

  1. Combine the fish with the lime juice in a glass bowl, ensuring it is fully covered; chill for twenty to thirty minutes, stirring once, until the fish turns opaque.
  2. Drain off most of the lime juice, leaving the fish lightly coated.
  3. Fold in the tomato, cucumber, red onion, cilantro, serrano, and salt; chill for five more minutes.
  4. Gently fold in the avocado just before serving.
  5. Taste and adjust the salt and lime; serve cold on tostadas with hot sauce and lime wedges.

💡 Chef tips & storage

Use sashimi-grade fish for the best texture — the lime firms the flesh but cannot make old fish safe. Twenty minutes of curing is enough; longer turns the fish chalky.
