Ceviche clásico de corvina

Peru · Latin America

Short description: This ceviche is a lime-cured white-fish preparation served cold with sharp aromatics.
Ingredients: Corvina or another firm white fish is cured in lime juice with red onion, chile, cilantro, salt, and crisp or starchy sides.
Cultural note: Its appeal depends on very fresh fish, bright acid, and quick preparation rather than long cooking.
Common misconception: The fish is not cooked with heat; acid firms and flavors it while it remains a cold preparation.
