Tips & Warnings
  • The Fish has been cooked by the lime and the Vinegar. The Raw Fish has turned from its original color to white.
  • The citric acid from the lime and the acetic acid from the Vinegar have cooked the Fish.
  • And the yellow Hot pepper has helped cook the fish as well.
  • You can have corn of the cob as a side.
  • You can add Orange juice to the Lemon juice as well.
  • You can use Yellow, White or Purple Onions.
  • Because it is Fish, smell it before you use it. If it smells bad, do not use it, return it to the store.
  • When raw fish is cooked on this particular way, remember that it has not been heated, grilled, fry or baked and it can contain bacteria.
