Mastering the acid cooking method of ceviche opens up a new world of bright fresh alchemy around your white fish species. It's no wonder it's called, Leche de Tigre (Tiger’s Milk). A heavy muscled fish like halibut and yelloweye does best with this Latin American triumph. More tender than raw fish and without the flake of heat-cooked fish, ceviche is a delicate and transcendental middle ground of fish preparation.  Follow the 5 main tenets of ceviche: premium fish, onion, pepper, lime and salt. Then riff by mixing in fruits to balance the acid and herbs to add depth of flavor. Lastly, play with the salt and lime juice ratio to your heart's desire. There is no wrong turn down the road to ceviche, but do not miss the off-ramp to orange juice, you will regret it!
