Here's how to make Ceviche 

Ingridient :

• 1 pound fresh, skinless snapper, bass, halibut, or other ocean fish fillets, cut into 1/2-inch dice 
• 1 1/2 cups fresh lime juice 
• 1 medium white onion, chopped into 
• 1/2-inch pieces 
• 2 medium-large tomatoes (about 1 pound), chopped into 1/2-inch pieces 
• Fresh hot green chiles (2 to 3 serranos or 1 to 2 jalapeños), stemmed, seeded and finely chopped 
• 1/3 cup chopped cilantro, plus a few leaves for garnish 
• 1/3 cup chopped pitted green olives (manzanillos for a typical Mexican flavor) 
• 1 to 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (optional) 
• Salt 
• 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice or 1/2 teaspoon sugar 
• 1 large or 2 small ripe avocados, peeled, pitted and diced 
• Tostadas, tortilla chips or saltine crackers, for serving

Step : 

1. In a 1 1/2-quart glass or stainless steel bowl, combine the fish, lime juice and onion. Use enough juice to cover the fish and allow it to float freely; too little juice means unevenly "cooked" fish. Cover and refrigerate for about 4 hours, until a cube of fish no longer looks raw when broken open. Drain in a colander.   
2. In a large bowl, mix together the tomatoes, green chiles, cilantro, olives and optional olive oil. Stir in the fish and season with salt, usually about 1/2 teaspoon. Add the orange juice or sugar. Cover and refrigerate if not serving immediately. Just before serving, gently stir in the diced avocado.
