We had been told that our camp cook Coco usually receives several marriage proposals by the end of any given trip. After I put the first bite of fresh ceviche into my mouth, I could easily see why this happens. I could have eaten the whole bowl if I didn't have to share any with my fellow campers. Muchísimas gracias, Coco!!
Coco's Ceviche
A good bushel of fresh trigger fish, hand-caught by Arturo the fearless Sea Trek guide, while you take a siesta, read a good book, or do some paddle boarding. (If you don't happen to be on Isla Carmen, and Art isn't around, Coco says you can substitute calamari, bay scallops or halibut).
Generous amounts of fresh squeezed lime juice
Lots of chopped cilantro, onions, and tomatoes
A bit of chopped jalapeño
A generous pour of Clamato
Clean and chop the fish into pieces appropriate for dipping/piling onto a chip. Combine remaining ingredients together wiht the fish in a large bowl. Adjust ingredients until you arrive at a pleasing balance. Generous amounts of fresh lime juice are key - "cooking" the fish with their acid.
Serve with tortilla chips, topping with a dash of your favorite hot sauce, as you chomp away.
