Drizzle lime juice, lemon juice, and sugar over the fish, then gently mix everything together. Cover the dish and refrigerate the fish for a minimum of 4 hours, ensuring to toss it occasionally until it turns white and loses its raw appearance. You can leave it to marinate for up to 6 hours if desired.
- 2Begin by draining the fish and disposing of the marinade. Transfer the ceviche to a spacious bowl and combine it with tomatoes, red onion, pickled jalapeños, 1 tablespoon of liquid from the jar, and olive oil. Toss everything together until well mixed. This dish can be prepared in advance up to 2 hours. Simply cover it and refrigerate until ready to serve.
