Ceviche is a popular dish in Panama, as well as many other Latin American countries. It is a seafood dish made from raw fish or seafood that is "cooked" in acidic marinade, typically made from lemon or lime juice. The acid in the marinade 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 Panama, where seafood is abundant. It is appreciated for its fresh and healthy taste and is considered a staple in the country's culinary heritage.
