Prepare the Ceviche
- Chop the Fish: Cut the tuna into 1/2-inch cubes and place in a medium bowl.

Prepare Plantain Chips
- Slice Plantains: Use a mandolin to thinly slice the plantains.
- Fry Plantains: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the plantain slices in batches until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and sprinkle with salt.
