Baja ceviche is a dish prepared with raw fish that is usually marinated and 'cooked' in lime juice and other fresh ingredients. We love it with our luscious striped bass. Adding the avocado to the purée adds richness to the dish. You can finish with extra chopped avocado and cilantro to taste.
Serves 4.
