Gatun American Legion

== Ingredients ==
* 5 lbs large white meated fish filets. fish should very firm, non-oily variety. (grouper, sea bass, snook, dolphin are some.)
* 3 large onions, chopped
* 3 habanero peppers If Habanero peppers are not available, other very hot peppers may be used with the loss of some flavor. Jalapenos add a very good flavor, but more of them should be used than if using Habanero peppers chopped. (Chinese peppers for you zonies)
* 24 fresh limes (or enough to produce 3 cups lime juice)
* ½ cups salt
== Directions ==
# Dice the fish into ¼ inch pieces and just cover with water.
# Use a stainless steel, plastic or glass container.
# Add salt, mix and let stand for at least an hour (this is a good time to squeeze your limes).
# Remove the fish from the water and squeeze the moisture from it.
# Mix in the onions and peppers.
# Put the mixture in a large glass jar or a refrigerator container and pour the lime juice in to cover.
# Refrigerate, covered (no metal lids), for at least six hours.
# Serve, chilled, in a cocktail dish with saltines or in small pastry cups as a canape.
