Mexican cuisine «Ceviche»

Mexican food from raw fish

Once, when I had Mexican vacation, I was offered to try Mexican food «Ceviche». By that time I had known already something about Mexican cuisine: tacos, burritos and other Mexican fast food, but I had never heard about «Ceviche». Later I notice that this food is very common in Mexico, and prepares from raw fish. Well, it is not really raw fish; it cooks in lime juice. But still I felt strange to eat something relatively raw. Although, after I`d remembered that we also eat raw herring in Russia, which cooks in salt water, I made up my mind and decided to try «Ceviche». And this one is my favorite Mexican food now.

1.  1 kg. of fish (the best is Sole or Bass);
2.  lime;
