Ceviche

Ceviche is a yummy, cold dish made from raw fish or shellfish. It is mixed with citrus juice and tasty seasonings. People in many Latin American countries near the Pacific Ocean love to eat it.

In Peru, ceviche is the national dish and a big part of their culture. The citrus in ceviche changes the fish so it looks cooked, even without using heat. Today, most people use lemon or lime juice.

Ceviche is often served as a starter, but sometimes as a main dish with foods like sweet potato, lettuce, or avocado. Each country has its own special way to enjoy this tasty dish.

The word ceviche might come from an old Spanish word or a Quechua word meaning fresh fish. No matter how you spell it, ceviche is a favorite dish in many places.
