A unique method of food preparation, depending completely on lime juice, is ceviche. This is commonly used with fresh fish in Latin America. Raw fish is marinated with ample lime juice for several hours, then seasoned
with fresh chiles, cilantro, tomatoes, and onions. The recipe appears to be of Polynesian origin, but is today
often found along the Pacific coast from México to Perú, and on the Caribbean islands. The trick behind
ceviche is that proteins denaturize in an acidic medium, as they do at high temperatures; therefore, the fish
may be considered ‘cooked’ by the cold but sour lime juice.
