Friday, June 28 is National Ceviche Day!
Ceviche is a South and Central American dish that has swum into the mainstream in recent years. It’s made by marinating a firm fish in citric acid, typically from a lemon or lime. The acid essentially “cooks” the fish over time by chemical processes. Because there’s no actual cooking involved in preparing ceviche, it’s very important that fresh fish is used, and that it’s marinated for a couple of hours. Firm fish and shellfish like tuna, snapper and shrimp are best as they will hold up better than a flakier option. Ceviche is a great way to cool down in the summer heat (no oven required!), and it’s relatively easy to make.
