Ceviche, a zesty and fresh dish, is popular in Central America and the coastal regions of Central America. Side dishes for ceviche vary. Sometimes, diced tomatoes or cucumbers are added. You can also use seafood such as shrimp, crab, scallops, or squid.
It was introduced to the United States in the 1980s and is now on menus and events across North America. Lime or lemon juice can cure raw fish like sea bass and halibut, raw onions, and diced hot peppers.
What’s The Best Time To Eat Ceviche?
This is a great dish to have during hot summer days. It’s quick and easy to make and doesn’t even require you to turn on the stove.
