Ceviche is a traditional Latin American dish featuring raw seafood—commonly fish or shrimp—that is marinated in freshly squeezed citrus juices, predominantly lime or lemon. The acid in the marinade 'cooks' the seafood, resulting in a tangy, flavorful dish often complemented with ingredients like onions, cilantro, chili peppers, and salt. Popular across countries such as Peru, Mexico, Ecuador, and others, ceviche is celebrated for its refreshing taste and vibrant presentation.
