Recipe: DIY Mackerel Ceviche with Rocket
If you’ve never tried ceviche before, then what better way to start by doing it yourself! Contrary to popular belief, it's easy to do. The fish cooks in the chemicals from the acid, so is not ‘raw’ like sushi. Even still, grab yourself super fresh mackerel for this one, it will make all the difference.
DIY Mackerel Ceviche Ingredients:
- 2 large mackerel fillets
- Juice of 1 large lime
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 red chillies, deseeded and finely chopped

- Sea Salt
- Black Pepper
- A handful fresh rocket
DIY Mackerel Ceviche How To:
Slice the mackerel into thin strips. Place in a resealable plastic bag
Toss in the lime juice, chilli, spring onion and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, and shake well. Allow to stand for 10 minutes.
Remove from the bag and serve with plenty of fresh rocket.
