The dish originates from colonial times when Peruvian fishermen used to use raw diced fish as bait or cebo which is the Spanish word for bait. When they got hungry whilst fishing, they added salt and lemon to the diced fish and ate them.
Though the years, this practice became more widespread throughout Peru with folk other than fishermen and whilst the dish is essentially the same as a few centuries ago, it has been augmented and refined, in particular with the use of seafood such as prawns, squid and lobster.
Ceviche is usually served as an appetiser or light lunch and is so popular in Peru that they have restaurants specialising in Cebiche dishes called Cebicherias. The dish is also popular in other Latin American countries but Peruvian Cebiche rules - OK.
Below are just a few Cebiche recipes, but you can use whatever fish or seafood you like so long as you use only the freshest of fish, preferably sashimi grade. If in doubt, DON'T. As texture is important to this dish, do not use previously frozen fish. Happy Cooking! Red Snapper Cebiche CD MC Peruvian 10mins plus marinating |
