Use the freshest halibut you can find for the best flavor and texture. If you can't find halibut, sea bass or snapper are good substitutes. Adjust the amount of jalapeno peppers to your preference. For a milder ceviche, remove the seeds and membranes completely. For a spicier kick, leave some of the seeds in. Be sure to use a non-metallic bowl when marinating the fish, as the citrus juice can react with metal and affect the flavor. Taste the ceviche after the initial 1 1/2 hours of marinating. If the fish is not 'cooked' enough, continue marinating for another 15-30 minutes. For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of olive oil to the ceviche before serving. This ceviche is best served immediately, but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The texture of the fish may change slightly over time.
