1 to 2 lbs. firm, fresh white fish (such as Cod, cut in 1/2 inch pieces)
Juice of 5 to 6 limes
1 clove garlic, minced
2 to 3 tsp. salt (to taste)
1 sm. hot pepper, seeded and minced
4 to 5 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
1 lg. white onion, chopped
Saltine crackers

Layer the fish, salt, onion, pepper, and garlic in several layers in an empty quart jar. Pour the lime juice over mixture to cover. Refrigerate overnight. Serve as an appetizer on saltine crackers. The lime juice "cooks" the fish.
