A no-cook fish or seafood dish that’s popular throughout the coastal regions of Latin America. The beauty of Cevice is that it can be made in advance and stored in the fridge, making it an ideal starter. Pac ‘n Vac vacuum food storage not only cuts the time needed for the marinading but keeps the finished dish looking perfect until the moment you serve it. The combination of colours and the unique taste of lime-marinaded fish makes this a dish you’ll come back to again and again.
Preparation time – 30 mins to 1 hour
Cooking time – no cooking required – the marinading process in which the fish is steeped in fresh lime juice takes the place of cooking.
