At Private Chef Costa Rica, fish ceviche is one of the Costa Rican dishes we prepare for private dining. Its fresh fish, lime, onion, pepper, and cilantro give it a bright, citrus-forward flavor.

The Origins of Costa Rican Fish Ceviche

The exact origin of ceviche is debated, and different countries in Latin America have developed their own versions of the dish. In Costa Rica, ceviche de pescado is commonly prepared with fresh fish, lime juice, onion, pepper, and cilantro.

The Preparation of Our Signature Ceviche

Ceviche starts with fresh fish, cleaned and diced into small cubes, then marinated in freshly squeezed lime juice.

From there, it's mixed with finely sliced red onion, bell pepper, and cilantro, which add crunch and a fresh, aromatic note.

It's finished with a little salt, black pepper, and a touch of olive oil to balance the acidity.

It's usually served with patacones (fried green plantains), a common pairing that works well with the dish's bright, citrusy flavors.
