Ceviche is a Latin American cold starter with Asian influence due to the use of raw fish. The traditional Peruvian ceviche is prepared with fresh fish, limes, onions, hot peppers and fresh coriander. Different types of white fish can be used, including octopus or shrimp. The cooking of the fish in the Ceviche is done through the acidity of the citrus fruits that we use. For texture and flavor we will add several finely chopped fruits or vegetables.
