Fish ceviche is a refreshing and flavorful delight. Marinating the fish in lemon gives it a unique texture. Made with fresh ingredients like onion, tomato, pepper, and cilantro, it is an iconic dish of Latin American cuisine.
The fish is seasoned with lemon and salt, then left in the refrigerator to "cook" slowly.
Meanwhile, a mixture of onion, tomato, peppers, and cilantro is prepared with lemon and salt.
Finally, everything is combined with the fish and served with chifles or plantains.
A fresh and delicious dish to enjoy in good company.
