What is Ceviche?

Ceviche or Cebiche is one of the most popular dishes in the coastal regions of Latin America, especially Peru. Every country in Latin America has its own variations of ceviche. It's usually made with fresh raw seafood and lime or lemon juice, the acid from the citrus will cook the seafood.

In Colombia, for example, ceviches are very popular on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, and you'll find people enjoying them a the beach, restaurants or at home. Some traditional Colombian ceviches are: Ceviche de Pulpo (Octopus Ceviche), Ceviche de Camarones (Shrimp Ceviche) and Ceviche de Pescado (Fish Ceviche). These Colombian-style ceviches are usually served with saltine crackers or patacones (fried green plantain).

The most popular fish used to make this Fish Ceviche Recipe in Colombia is corvina (sea bass), but if you can't find sea bass, halibut and cod fish are good alternatives.

Buen provecho!
