Scallop Ceviche

Author Frank 

it's getting to be that time, here's my favorite way to eat them

1 1/2 pounds scallops (or shrimp or white meat fish)
1/2 cup and 3 table spoons fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
3 avocados peeled, seeded, and cubed
3 small tomatoes skinned, seeded, and sliced thin
1/3 cup vegetable oil
optional ingredients
1 jalapeno seeded minced finely
one small white onion sliced thinly
1 fresh garlic clove minced

combine scallops, 1/2 cup lime juice, salt, and cilantro in a glass bowl (don't use metal or plastic!), toss to mix, cover and refrigerate overnight when ready to serve, drain and add avocados, tomatoes, oil, and the three tablespoons of fresh lime juice, sprinkle with salt, serve with tortilla chips and dos eques or bohemia beer that's the original recipe (except the dos eques); i like to add the garlic to the mix that sets over night and the onion and pepper with the avocados and tomatoes
