So far we've found Ling to be excellent...any recommendations?

I've used bass and crappie and both work very well but as far as from the store....tilapia works the best. If you use shrimp throw them in boiling water for 30 sec. and then put them in ice water. I love civiche'!!!!!!

Why...the shrimp thing? When do you put them in after you've par boiled and cooled them? Do you not allow the marinade to cook them?
Thanks.

Orange roughy is a GREAT fish for Ceviche. The employee at the fish market had suggested using it because I love the fish itself. Now I have to go back and get some....do ya'll see my arm twisting? Steven

I have always used Cod or Haddock. I like the mild flavor and big flake to the flesh.

Mahi Mahi is the best I've ever used.

Bonita, hands down makes the best ceviche. Albeit a little oily..


Just kidding......bass crappie and snapper as well as small grouper make great ceviche.

Come on T, you know you make carp ceviche.

Gar ceviche! Grinnel ceviche.

Seriously, I know this Mexican that says that when he was a kid in Nuevo Laredo, the bars would sell fried gar(catan as he says) caught fresh from El Rio Bravo

Fried catan mmmm I remeber those days. We used to bow fish for gar then skin them and deep fry them in a "disco" con manteca de puerco. As for what is good ceviche fish I suppsoe any mild tasteing firm flesh fish would do, we always use sandies and crappie.

Does this make you a MANTEC�N????

The wife just asked what fish is good for ceviche, I said type that phrase in the search engine. She said 'that's funny, your fishing buddies came up over in Texas'! Sure enough, thus the resurrection of this post.

white bass.... very mild flavor for ceviche

Smacks or Triggerfish.

I vouch for Triggerfish. You need to get through the tough skin but the flesh is fantastic in ceviche or cooked. Baja Style!!!

True fish facts:
Orange Roughy is weak! It's basically the most bland fish in the ocean. If you like choosing Matza as your favorite cracker. This is besides the fact that you only can get it previously frozen and the fact that commercialization and over-fishing has dramatically depleted the fish stock. Much like many other deep water fish, it is prehistoric looking and extremely slow to reproduce. I'm no tree-hugger but this is one fish that people should not support buying. Make no mistake I sold plenty of it at my restaurant until I learned of the facts behind the species and decided to stop buying it. It was easy to convince others who liked roughy of other substitute species.
