Start by preparing the seabass fillet. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the fillet into small, even cubes of about 1 cm.
Place the seabass cubes in a non-reactive bowl. Pour 120 ml of lime juice, 60 ml of lemon juice, and 30 ml of orange juice over the fish. Stir gently to ensure all the fish is coated in the juice.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the seabass to marinate and 'cook' in the citrus juices for at least 1 hour or until the fish turns opaque.
While the fish is marinating, finely dice the red onion, jalapeño pepper, tomato, and cucumber. Place these chopped vegetables in a mixing bowl.
Chop the cilantro finely and add it to the vegetable mix in the bowl.
Once the fish is done marinating, remove from the refrigerator and drain off most of the citrus juice, leaving just a small amount to keep the fish moistened.
Gently fold in the prepared vegetables into the marinated fish mixture, being careful not to break the fish pieces.
Dice the avocado into small cubes and add to the ceviche, folding gently to incorporate. Season the ceviche with a teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to taste as desired.
Serve the seabass ceviche chilled, garnished with extra cilantro or slices of lime if preferred.
