Rinse the sea bass fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Slice the fillets into small 1/2 inch cubes.
Place the sea bass cubes in a medium glass or ceramic bowl. Add the fresh lime and lemon juices, ensuring the fish is completely covered with juice to marinate properly.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes, or until the sea bass is opaque and 'cooked' in the citrus juices.
While the fish is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Finely chop the red onion, quarter the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, and finely chop the jalapeño.
After the fish has marinated sufficiently, remove from the refrigerator. Drain some of the excess marinade if preferred, but leave a bit for flavor.
Combine the marinated sea bass with the chopped red onion, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and jalapeño in a large mixing bowl.
Gently fold in the chopped cilantro and diced avocado. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Toss all the ingredients together until well combined. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve immediately in chilled bowls or plates for a refreshing appetizer or light meal. Garnish with additional cilantro or lime wedges if desired.
