Ceviche is a popular dish originating from Peru, made from fresh raw fish marinated in citrus juices, primarily lime. The acidity of the citrus 'cooks' the fish, giving it a unique texture and flavor. It is often seasoned with onions, cilantro, and various spices, making it a refreshing and vibrant dish. Traditionally served as an appetizer, ceviche is enjoyed in many Latin American countries, each with its own variations. It is commonly accompanied by sides like sweet potatoes or corn, enhancing its taste and presentation. Ceviche is not only a culinary delight but also a cultural symbol of coastal regions.
