Ceviche a kind of seafood salad. In its classic form, it is composed of chunks of raw fish, lime or the use of bitter orange (naranja agria) juice in some regions of the country, chopped onion, and minced Peruvian ají limo and also common Andean rocoto. The mixture is marinated and served at room temperature. Mexican Seafood and Seafood in Mexico
In my opinion its like sushi but more flavorful coz of the marination of the raw fish...we usually have this when we go to the beach or summer picnics at my mamita's house.
