Ceviche is a popular dish in Latin American cuisine, particularly in countries like Peru and Mexico. It typically consists of raw fish or seafood that is marinated in citrus juices, primarily lime or lemon. The acidity of the juice "cooks" the fish, giving it a firm texture and a fresh flavor. In addition to fish, ceviche often includes ingredients like onions, cilantro, and chili peppers for added taste. It is usually served chilled and can be accompanied by sides such as tortilla chips or sweet potatoes. Ceviche is enjoyed as an appetizer or a light meal.
