Start by rinsing the fresh sea bass fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Cut the sea bass into small, bite-sized cubes, about 1/2 inch each, and place them in a large glass or ceramic bowl.
Pour the lime juice and lemon juice over the cubed sea bass, ensuring they are fully submerged. This acidic marinade will 'cook' the fish.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 20-30 minutes, or until the fish becomes opaque and firm.
While the fish is marinating, peel and thinly slice the red onion. Dice the tomatoes, removing seeds if preferred. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and cube the flesh. Finely chop the cilantro leaves. For the jalapeño, remove seeds and membranes if a milder flavor is desired, and finely dice it.
Once the fish has marinated sufficiently, drain the excess citrus juice carefully, leaving just a little to keep the fish moist.
Gently toss the marinated sea bass with the prepared vegetables and cilantro in a large serving bowl.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and drizzle the olive oil over the mixture, gently combining all the ingredients.
Refrigerate for an additional 10 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
Serve the ceviche in small bowls or on plates accompanied by tortilla chips or crisp lettuce leaves.
