Taco night has become a HUGE deal in my house, over the last year I organized a few taco nights everyone invited loved it so much that it has now become a thing. I have literally been banned from making tacos without my siblings being there, and not just my own 4 siblings but my husband’s 4 siblings too, and their other halves.
Since I do not have free reign over my choice in making tacos I decided to cheat and switch it up a little…. fish tacos! I often shop at Agatha & Valentina on University place where they sell the freshest fish so I decided to go get some amazing fish and create something new, Peruvian style.
This recipe is so crisp, tangy and refreshing that you will be begging for more once it’s finished, I promise. I’ll be eating this all summer.
You will need
- 1 7oz fillet of sea bass
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1/4 cup red onion, sliced thinly lengthways
- 3 radishes, sliced thinly
- 2 serrano peppers, deseeded and chopped
- 1 cup cabbage, sliced
- 1 large tomato, chopped into small pieces
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
- Taco shells.
Instructions
- Start by cutting the sea bass into small cubes, this should be done with a long sharp knife
- Combine the sea bass and the lime juice in a large bowl and place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
- When the 20 minutes is up, take the bowl out and add in the onion, radishes, cilantro, peppers and sea salt and then put it back in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.
- Assemble your toppings, the cabbage, tomato and any other vegetables that you wish into the tacos and then top with the sea bass ceviche and a little extra cilantro.
I am concerned with the common ingredients in the last few posts…

Hi Iddo, many people share the same concern but you can always leave the cilantro out. 🙂
These look so bright-flavored and delicious! I love ceviche, but had never, ever thought to put it in tacos before.
And I understand about taco night – my husband and I make homemade tacos every single Saturday. I think it’s one of the few foods I’ll really never get sick of. It started as a tradition with my parents, and now we’ve carried it on.
Love the idea of taco nights. And your taco looks very tempting! Thank you for stopping by @Golubka.
What a pretty taco! I’ve never made fish tacos (or ceviche!), but have always wanted to try! I buy my fish at Whole Foods, but I wish we had a great fish market nearby, like you. Mmmm…now I want tacos.
Thanks Nicole, this one is a great take on a taco! It’s really fresh and crisp. Whole foods have a great fish counter too!
Going to give this a go this week… Looks and sounds amazing!
My kids love taco night too! Can’t wait to try the ceviche version
It’s sooo good Michelle! We have to make it soon!
