Rockfish Ceviche Tostadas
- Ceviche
- 1 pound rockfish fillets, bones removed*, cut into 1/2-in. dice with a very sharp knife
- About 3/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 6 or 7 limes)
- 1 large tomato, seeded and cut into 1/2-in. dice (about 1 cup)
- 1/2 small red onion, cut into 1/2-in. dice (about 3/4 cup)
- 1 4-in. section of English cucumber, peeled, or 1 1/2 Persian cucumbers, cut into 1/2-in. dice (about 3/4 cup)
- 2 or 3 serrano chiles, minced
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- About 1 tbsp. kosher salt
- To finish
- 8 (6 in.) tostada shells
- 1 1/2 to 2 large avocados, sliced lengthwise
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- In a large, nonreactive bowl, mix fish with lime juice and stir several times. Let sit, stirring often, until mostly opaque, about 15 minutes.
- Add remaining ceviche ingredients and mix well. Season with more lime juice and salt if you like (salt balances the sourness of the lime).
- Spoon ceviche onto tostada shells with a bit of juice, then top each with 3 slices avocado and a grind or two of pepper.
- *To remove pin bones, which run lengthwise along fillet, grasp with tweezers (preferably fish tweezers) and pull out in the same direction that bones are pointed.
