Ceviche is a traditional dish in Costa Rican cuisine that is made from raw fish or seafood that is "cooked" in citrus juices. The acid in the citrus juices effectively marinates and "cooks" the seafood, giving it a firm and tender texture. The dish is usually made with fresh fish or seafood such as shrimp, crab, or octopus, and is seasoned with spices, such as cumin, chili powder, and lime juice, to create a tangy and flavorful dish. Ceviche is often served as an appetizer or a light meal and is a popular dish in coastal areas of Costa Rica, where seafood is abundant. It is enjoyed for its fresh and healthy taste and is considered a staple in the country's culinary heritage.
