Instructions
- Prep the ingredients: Chop your onions, garlic, and vegetables. Cut your fresh fish into bite-sized pieces.

- Season with lime juice and herbs, adjusting salt, pepper, and chili to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with extra cilantro or lime wedges, alongside crusty bread or rice.
Notes
Feel free to use shrimp or squid as substitutes for fish, and add any seasonal vegetables you like. Adjust the chili to your spice preference.
