Ceviche

Ceviche is a traditional seafood dish commonly found in Latin American cuisine. It consists of fresh raw fish or seafood that is "cooked" by marinating it in citrus juice, usually lime or lemon. The acidity denatures the proteins in the fish, giving it a firm texture and a cooked appearance, while also imparting a bright, tangy flavor. Ceviche often includes ingredients like onions, chili peppers, cilantro, and salt, and is typically served chilled as an appetizer or light meal. It's valued for its fresh taste, vibrant flavors, and the simplicity of its preparation.
