Hake ceviche is an alternative to the traditional ceviche recipe. Hake is a fish that we can find on the American coasts of the Pacific Ocean, in countries like Chile, Argentina and Peru. They also have a small population in New Zealand. It is a white fish with a very soft texture that is usually eaten fried, but it is also delicious in ceviche.

Like other ceviche recipes, much of the charm of hake ceviche is deciding how you’re going to serve it and what garnishes to go with it. You can serve this ceviche in glasses or serve it on a base of corn tortillas. Likewise, you can use a plating ring (or improvise with a cup) to serve it in a compact and circular way.
