- 2 each Roma Tomatoes (seeded)
- 2 each Mini English Cucumbers
- 3 each Limes (juiced)

Add lime juice from all three limes, ensuring the fish is covered. (If your limes were dry, you may need a few more.)3 each Limes (juiced)
For best results, cover the fish and leave it to "cook" for approximately four hours. While some recipes suggest it will be done in 30 minutes, I have found that a longer cooking time results in better texture and fully "cooked" fish. Stirring the fish occasionally during the cooking process can also help achieve the desired outcome.

After "cooking" the fish, drain the lime juice and mix it with the diced vegetables. Add salt to taste and a sprinkle of garlic powder.1 sprinkle Garlic Powder
