Ceviche, a fresh, citrus-flavored seafood dish, uses the acidic qualities of lemon and lime juices to “cook” fish without heat, a process that literally changes the structure of the proteins in the fish over the course of a few hours. The change is even visible to the naked eye—over the course of the marinating time, the flesh of the fish will shift from a translucent pink color to an opaque white one.
