First up the stuff to make the stuff.

A bunch of lemons (pic related)
Half kilo of a saltwater fish.
2 cucumbers
1 red onion
A bunch of serrano pepers (it MAY work with jalapeños) Pro level 1 chiltepin.
1 garlic clove
salt N black pepper

why isn't in my mouth right now?

The first step is to choose the right fish for the endevour.
The most common type of fish meat used is white meat. Like: Spanish mackerels, Butterfly kingfish, bonitos and such.
I used a red meat fish kinda like tuna, bluefin trevally, known as jurel in the shores of the pacific (in México)
Squeeze the lemon juice and trhow the fish in, let it sit overnight.
Look at that red meat.
Do not discard the muscle line... look at that dark muscle.

>>5914998
Diced half onion.
Remove the seeds from the cucumber and dice them all.
Save one half cucumber were going to use it later.

>>5915005
Take out the fish from the lemon juice.
Use a strainer.
Wash it a bit.
You can save the lemon juice/fish juice to make leche de tigre or something like that, i dont really know you'll have to ask a peruvian dude for that one.

>>5915013
Get the blender ready.
Use that half cucumber (without the seeds).
The juice of 6 or so lemons.
The garlic clove.
The serrano chiles and the chiltepin (if you have those).
Add a pinch of salt, just a bit let people use whatever salt they want.
A dash of olive oil (if you want).
A dash of water.

>>5915022
Mix the marinated fish with the onions.
Toss in the lemon/cucumber/garlic stuff.
Let it sit for 10 minutes.
Add the cucumbers.
Serve on tostadas or soda crackers.
Have some crushed sea salt at hand.
Easy and dirty cheap.

Goddamn I miss living in Mazatlan and just bulldozing through buckets of prawns like this with pacifico, mezcal and fresh coconuts.

>The most common type of fish meat used is white meat. Like: Spanish mackerels, Butterfly kingfish, bonitos and such.
Also:
Northern red snapper, sole fish, herring, sierra but i dont actually know if that is the saw fish

>>5914998
jurel is yellowtail in Sonora

>>5918196
triggerfish , cochito, is the preferred fish Sonora

you guys need to add ginger in your aguachile or some sort of broth/maggi/liquid salt to finish the unami flavor.

I've seen some people incorporate the cucumber in the marinade, but does it give any flavor at all?

>>5916605
Saw fish.
This one is a type of barracuda or snoek.
>>5918202
>>5916605
Cochito is lenguado therefore sole fish.

>>5914998
Tilapia is also good

>inb4 yuck pleb fish

Bump and saved for greater justice and cus OC.

Threads like these make me happy to still lurk on /ck/

>>5914975
Thanks for that, OP.
I've been eating aguachile like mad lately, at my favorite mexican restaurant. So, this will be great, I can make it myself instead.

>pacifico
>not Estrella
Nigga u dum

Also OP my family does it with a white fish and only let's it sit for about half an hour or so
Good for a day but after that it just gets chewy and nasty

>lemons

>>5914998
>let it sit overnight.

Isn't that a fucklong time? Won't it "overcook"?

Aguachile is it in own genre and many variations are more complex than the original ceviche itself. Unless you tried it aguachile in Sonora, Sinaloa or Baja California, most likely you tried a shitty aguachile

>>5923049
Mexicans don't know the difference.

There's forms of aguachile as there are ceviche.

Like I said, unless you tried it in Sinaloa, Sonora or Baja, you most likely tried a shit version of it. The seafood is better up north, so its understandable

NOICE.
