Notes

For the best flavor, always use freshly squeezed lime juice. If you can't find octopus, shrimp or scallops are great substitutes. For variations, consider adding avocado slices or microgreens for an elegant touch. The ceviche tastes best when eaten within 24 hours of preparation, so try to prepare only what you'll consume.
