1pound fresh skinless snapper, bass, halibut or other ocean fish fillets (the fish I listed I like because they have a large flake or meaty texture), cut into ½-inch cubes or slightly smaller

1medium white onion, chopped into ¼-inch pieces
2medium-large (1 pound total) tomatoes, chopped into ¼ inch pieces
Fresh hot green chile to taste (roughly 2 to 3 serranos or 1 to 2 jalapeños), stemmed, seeded and finely chopped
1/3cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus a few leaves for garnish
1/3cup chopped pitted green olives (choose manzanillos for a typical Mexican flavor)
1 to 2tablespoons olive oil, preferably extra-virgin (optional but recommended to give a glistening appearance)
Salt
3tablespoons fresh orange juice OR 1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 large or 2 small ripe avocados, peeled, pitted and diced
Tostadas, tortilla chips or saltine crackers for serving
