Ecuadorian Bass Marinated in Lime Juice - Seviche de Corvina

Ingredients:

1-1/2 pounds fillets of striped bass, or similar fish, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

1 fresh hot red or green pepper, seeded and finely chopped

Salt

Freshly ground pepper

1 cup lime or lemon juice

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

1 cup vegetable oil

1 cup bitter (Seville) orange juice

1 clove garlic, chopped

Cooking Instructions:

Put the fish into a large glass or china bowl and add the lime or lemon juice to cover, adding a little more if necessary. Refrigerate for about 3 hours, or until the fish is opaque, "cooked" by the lime or lemon juice. Drain. Transfer to a serving bowl and mix with the bitter orange juice, pepper, onion, garlic, salt and pepper to taste, and the oil. Serve with Maiz Tostada (Toasted Corn) on the side.
