Ceviche, also cebiche, seviche, or sebiche, is a seafood dish originating in Peru, typically made from fresh raw fish cured in citrus juices, such as lemon or lime, and spiced with chili peppers or other seasonings including chopped onions, salt, and coriander. Because the dish is not cooked with heat, it must be prepared and consumed fresh to minimize the risk of food poisoning. Ceviche is now a popular international dish prepared in a variety of ways throughout the Americas, reaching the United States in the 1980s.
