- Immediately remove the fish so it stops cooking and immerse in a large bowl that is filled with ice water. Once the fish is cool enough to touch, drain it in a colander.

Gently stir the fish until it’s coated in the sauce, being very careful not to overmix it and break apart the fish too much.

Notes
- Fish: Many types of fish will work, so choose your favorite. Be sure it is white, firm, and mild.
- Marinade: You need to allow the fish to first marinate without the veggies.
- Serving: Wait until just before you serve the ceviche to add the avocado and cilantro for the best results.
- Citrus: If you don't have all three types of citrus, be sure to use two of them for the best flavor.
