Best Answer

It is typically lime "marinated" fish or any seafood with onion, coriander ("cilantro") and chili. The acid in the citrus actually cooks the fish without heat. Local varieties can have different ingredients, as vegetables and even meat. It is often eaten with potatoes or sweet potatoes and maize (corn).

It is said to be originally from Peru, but this is disputed. It is found throughout the Pacific coast of Latin America, in local varieties. Some sources attribute the first ceviche to the Moche culture in Peru but others claim that the Spanyards brought the method with the citric fruits at the colonisation of South America.

What is chemical cooking?

Cooking something chemically means "cooking" it without heat. Ceviche, seviche, or cebiche is a simple blending of fish and citrus juice, with the addition of vegetables and spices. The chemical process that occurs when the acid of the citrus juice comes in contact with the fish is similar to what happens when the fish is cooked, the flesh becomes opaque and firm, but the fish is not actually technically cooked.
