Ceviche is a popular dish in many Latin American countries, including Panama. It is a refreshing and tangy seafood dish made with raw fish or shrimp marinated in lime or lemon juice, mixed with onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and other seasonings. The acidity of the citrus juice 'cooks' the seafood, giving it a firm texture and a bright, zesty flavor. Ceviche is often served as an appetizer or a light lunch, accompanied by crispy tortilla chips or saltine crackers.
