Preparation
Step 1
Combine first 6 ingredients, 1/2 cup cubed fish, 4 tablespoons cilantro, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in blender; puree. Strain into large bowl, pressing on solids. Add remaining 1 pound cubed fish, 2 tablespoons cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon salt, chile, and red onion strips to puree; stir to coat. Cover and chill ceviche 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Step 2
Serve sweet potato and corn alongside ceviche.
Step 3
You'll need two pounds of Key limes to yield one cup of juice. Juice limes only halfway; pressing too firmly results in bitterness.
Step 4
* A Peruvian chile; sold at Latin markets.
