As you know, fish can get pretty expensive. We used Mahi Mahi fish for ceviche style marinating and grilling in this recipe because it was on sale. I recommend using whatever firm white fish is in season and on sale. That’s a great way to cut down on the cost of fish. Ceviche style produces a great, light, fresh summertime favorite of mine. It’s always a treat when we have it.
I thought the Easy Couscous Recipe with Mango HERE was incredible on its own, but then I tried it with this ceviche recipe. Fish never tasted so good! Ooooooh…it was amazing. If you have someone in your family who doesn’t typically like fish, I PROMISE they will like this recipe.

I made both the Grilled Mahi-Mahi fish recipe and the Mango Couscous and they were both outstanding!!! This was one of the best easy meals I’ve ever cooked. I went to two different stores and couldn’t find Mahi-Mahi so I substitued Chilean Sea Bass and marinated it for 24 hours and it was to die for. I will try making this again the next time a run across Mahi-Mahi.
