That is a good recipe and I have made ceviche out of crappie and bluegill. I use lemons and limes. The acid kind of burns your tongue a little. I add most of the juice of a can of pineapple and some pineapple. About 1/4 of the can. It takes the burn out of the lemon/lime. The recipe below is spot on. Eat with tortilla chips, hot sauce and lots of your favorite beer.

Here is the recipe we use for it other than I leave out the avocado just because I am not a fan.

1 Pound Crappie Fillets
10-12 Limes
4-5 Jalapeno Peppers, finely chopped
2-3 Garlic Cloves
Kosher Salt to Taste
1/2 Small Onion, diced
1 Roma Tomato, diced
1 Avocado, diced
4-5 Fresh Cilantro, finely chopped
Cut the Crappie into small pieces, one-half to one-inch chunks. Place Crappie chunks into a glass bowl and squeeze limes into the bowl until the fish is completely covered. Press Garlic into the bowl and stir. Add salt and half of the jalapenos into the mixture and stir. Place mixture into the refrigerator, uncovered, for 8 to 12 hours. Strain the excess lime juice from the fish mixture, and add onion, tomato, avocado, and cilantro. Stir gently to combine everything. Serve with tortilla chips.
