ceviche from tuna, just say NO! Its a waste of decent tuna. Get cod or other lowgrade whitefish for ceviche. Doing it with Tuna is -EV!

You're so wrong.

That sounds really good, why would it be a waste? Does the tuna just get overpowered? We're not talking about sushi grade fatty tuna here or anything.. it's just rando tuna from Safeway.

Make sure you don't use too much onion. IMO most ceviche recipes call for too much, and I like onion. It can overpower.

Ceviche is good sh*t.

Add in some calamari and shellfish along with whatever fish you decide to make it with.

I've been thinking about making scallop ceviche for a while. I've never had it, nor any other ceviche, for that matter, but it looks pretty damn good. How do you feel about scallops vs. a fish like cod or tilapia?

I usually go with fish, shrimp and scallops. But calamari sounds goot. Maybe next time.

ceviche doesn't require good fish, it just requires fish. The salsa type flavor that its going to have pretty much eliminates the fish taste so why spend the $$$ for Tuna when you can spend $ for cod/other and have it taste the same.

I've not tried scallops and I don't buy them so I don't know what they cost.

My point is that spending lots of $$$ on fish/other for ceviche is a waste because less $ fish is just as good.

That makes sense. Guess it's going to be a simple searing then. Thanks everyone.

This is wrong. If you buy cheap fish, which are typically bland, then you can't taste the fish. Or if you put in too much crap that overpowers it, then yes that can happen. If If you have good, fresh fish, which is not bland, and you make good ceviche (not a salad with some fish in it), you'll taste the good fish. IMO.
