Makes 4 servings. (each serving, 2 cups)
1 lb striped bass, filleted and trimmed
1/2 red onion
1 avocado
1 mango
1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/3 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/3 cup cilantro
1 green jalapeno
1 red jalapeno
salt & pepper to taste (~1/4 tsp each)
Directions
Cube fish into 1/2" pieces
Peel, pit and dice mango and avocado into 1/4"-1/3" pieces
Thinly slice red onion and chop into 1/2"-1" strips
Chop cilantro
Stem, seed, halve down the long side and thinly slice (if the peppers have a lot of heat, reduce the amount)
Mix all ingredients into large non-reactive bowl. Lightly season. Be somewhat gentle as to not smash mango or avocado (clean hands work the best)
