Bay Scallop Ceviche Recipe

Bay Scallop Ceviche Recipe

Ceviche is a seafood dish where diced cubes of raw fish or shellfish are marinated in lemon or lime juice. The citrus causes the fish protein to become opaque and firm, all while absorbing the flavor. Our Bay Scallop Ceviche Recipe uses Bay Scallops which is a smaller variety of scallop. The scallops marinate in lime juice, are combined with fresh vegetables and are best served with tostadas!
