How To Make Ceviche

Ceviche is a Latin and South American dish commonly served around coastal areas as fresh fish is an absolute must for this dish to be perfect. By letting raw fish marinade in citrus juices, the fish’s exterior gives off a cooked appearance and the flavors are able to meld. Something to note though: the freshest fish is to be used in this dish! Once done right, ceviche can be a refreshing and tender dish full of latin flavors that will awaken the senses. Fish typically used are ocean caught white fish like tilapia, mahi mahi, corvine, marlin and even shark but other variations in countries like Costa Rica include squid, shrimp and octopus. Some versions feature everything from Tabasco sauce, habanero and mayonnaise to a plain tomato sauce or coconut milk. No matter the country of origination, ceviche remains one of our favorite ways to east fresh seafood.
