Caribbean Ceviche - Pickled White Fish
The citric acid in the lime juice "cooks" the tuna by changing the structure of the proteins. But what does this have to do with pickling? Everything! Since you’re using an acidic solution to alter the texture of tuna, you’re making pickled fish.

Instructions
English
- In a non reactive container place the onion, garlic, lime juice, vinegar, cilantro, salt and pepper. Mix with a fork and set aside.
- Place the fish filets in a flat surface and cut into very thin slices on the bias. Place them and cover them well with the onion mixture. Cover and refrigerate about 6 hours
- Remove the mixture from the refrigerator; add the oil, paprika and Tabasco to taste. Refrigerate again until the next day. The fish should be opaque so that is it has been cooked or pickled. This is like ceviche but in slices instead of cubes.
- Serve with pieces of French bread or baguette.
