Ceviche Costa Rica

Ingredients

 * 1 lb (450 gr) firm white fish
 * 1 small Onion
 * 1 clove garlic
 * 4 or 5 sprigs of cilantro (coriander leaf)
 * 1 small (¾", 2 cm) hot chili
 * about 8 limes (enough for at least ¾ cup of juice)
 * ¼ teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste

Directions

 * 1) Cut fish into ½" (1 cm) cubes. Mince the Onion, garlic, and chili coarsely. Chop the cilantro very finely. Juice the limes and strain to remove the pulp and seeds.
 * 2) Shrimp (or for the very daring clams) can be substituted for the fish.
 * 3) Mix all of the ingredients and refrigerate tightly covered for at least 3 hours. Serve with corn tortillas, tortilla chips, or crackers.
