The dish showcases the versatility of seafood in Mexican cooking and encourages exploration for those seeking pescatarian options beyond traditional meat dishes while highlighting culinary traditions championed by chefs.
Ceviche is one of the easiest dishes to make, and a great way to dip your toe into the world of Mexican seafood. While the idea of eating raw fish might turn you off, the acidic juices used to create the dish 'cook' the fish just enough to keep it safe while keeping the dish light and refreshing.
Most ceviche recipes use the same principle: Just raw fish soaked in something acidic, usually lime juice. Shrimp, white fish, and scallops are the most common types of seafood used, though squid or octopus are also valid options.
