  1. Cut the fish fillets into small cubes, then rinse them quickly and drain.
  2. Place the fish in a bowl and pour over the lime juice to whiten it.
  3. Let it marinate for 15 minutes in the fridge, stirring once so the fish is well coated.
  4. Thinly slice the onions, deseed and chop the chili, and dice the tomato.

  6. Season with salt and pepper, mix gently and let rest for 5 minutes.
  7. Serve chilled, on crackers or with sandwich bread.

Variations and tips

Mango version. Add small diced ripe mango for a sweet touch that balances the acidity of the lime.

Using what's available here. Cod or pollock work very well in place of tropical fish.
