Señor Ceviche's Ceviche Clasico

Despite what people think, this Peruvian dish of fish cooked in lime juices, is perhaps one of the easiest things to make and can be regularly eaten at home. Here at Latinolife it's almost our staple diet. So healthy and fresh, it leaves you feeling exhilerated afterwards.
