"Ceviche is a non-cook prep method, letting the fish marinate and cook in citrus juices. The original recipe calls for Hamachi - also know as Amberjack - but this fish is not recognized by food.com. If you find it, use 1/2 cup of each type of fish. The ceviche needs to marinate for 1 hour so please plan ahead. Time for marinating is included in prep time."

Fabulous! This is so good! I tasted these separately before I put it all together. The papaya salad is wonderful and they're both so good together. It takes a little time to make it, but it's sure worth it. Light and refreshing. I didn't have a coconut to serve this on, but did add a little shredded coconut to the papaya salad. Thanks Deantini for a real treat! Made for ZWT7 for the Emerald City Shakers.
