Peruvian Ceviche

['2/3 cup fresh lime juice', '2 garlic cloves, smashed', '1 tablespoon (packed) chopped fresh cilantro leaves', '1/2 ají limo or habanero chile, seeded', '1/2 small red onion, chopped', '1/2 cup bottled clam juice (optional)', 'Kosher salt', '1 small sweet potato (about 8 ounces)', '1 ear of corn, husked', '1 ají limo or habanero chile, seeded, halved lengthwise', '1 pound fluke, flounder, or sole, cut into 1/2" cubes', '1 small red onion, quartered and thinly sliced, divided', 'Kosher salt', 'Cilantro leaves', 'Ingredient info: Ají limo chiles are sold at Latin markets; look for habanero chiles at some supermarkets and at Latin markets.']

Set a fine-mesh sieve over a small bowl. Purée first 4 ingredients and 4 large ice cubes in a blender until smooth. Add onion; pulse 3-4 times. Strain liquid into a medium bowl. Stir in clam juice, if desired; season with salt. Cover and chill.
Pour water into a large pot fitted with a steamer basket to a depth of 1"; bring to a boil. Add sweet potato, cover, and cook until just fork-tender, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a plate; let cool.
Meanwhile, add more water to same pot, if needed, to measure 1"; bring to a boil. Add ear of corn to pot and steam until crisp-tender, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a plate; let cool completely.
Halve potato lengthwise. Using a small melon baller, scoop out potato balls and place them in a small bowl; set aside. Cut kernels from cob. Reserve 1/3 cup kernels (save extra kernels for another use).
Rub a large bowl with cut sides of chile; discard. Place fluke, 2/3 of onion, leche de tigre, and 4 large ice cubes in bowl; stir well. Let marinate for 2 minutes; remove ice. Fold in potato and corn; season with salt.
Using a slotted spoon, divide ceviche into small bowls or onto plates. Drizzle ceviche with leche de tigre from bowl; garnish with remaining onion and cilantro.
