About Ceviche

Ceviche is a popular dish in many Latin American countries, particularly in coastal regions. It typically consists of raw fish or seafood that is marinated in citrus juices, such as lemon, lime, or orange, along with various seasonings and vegetables. The citric acid in the marinade effectively "cooks" the fish or seafood, giving it a firm texture and a tangy, refreshing flavor. In this recipe, we added soy sauce to add a rich, deep flavor to the ceviche.
