Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 pound fresh white fish (snapper or sea bass) cut in 1/2 inch dice
  • 1 medium (about 5 ounce) yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely diced
  • 1 stalk celery, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (or more, to barely cover fish)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup ginger ale (or a little more, to taste)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Put all ingredients except ginger ale into a glass bowl. DO NOT use metal. All the ingredients should be submerged in the liquid. Add more lime juice if needed. Marinate for 10 minutes. Fish will begin to turn white.

  • Step 2: Add the ginger ale. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed. Marinate for at least 1 to 2 hours or until fish turns white and opaque throughout.

  • Step 3: Typically served with saltine crackers, though more and more I see tortilla chips being used. You can add Chilero or Tabasco hot sauce if desired, or any other hot sauce of your liking. Costa Rican's don't like spicy foods.

We hope you enjoy this recipe!
