What is "ceviche"?

Ceviche is a popular dish in many Latin American countries, particularly in coastal regions, that consists of raw fish or seafood that is marinated in citrus juices such as lime or lemon juice, along with onions, chili peppers, and herbs. The acid in the citrus juices cooks the fish, giving it a cooked texture and a tangy flavor. Ceviche may also include additional ingredients such as tomatoes, avocado, and cilantro, to give it a more complex and flavorful taste. The dish is typically served cold and can be enjoyed as an appetizer or as a main dish. Ceviche is a healthy and nutritious dish that is high in protein and low in fat.. Many variations of ceviche exist, depending on the country and region.
