- .RZ "SEVICHE ACAPULCO" "A tasty marinated fish appetizer from Mexico"
- This recipe comes from the \fIDelicias Culinarias\fR cookbook that I
- brought from Mexico. The introduction to the recipe reads: ``Seviche is
- prepared with raw marinated fish. It is very popular in Ecuador, Peru,
- and in the north of Chile. Depending on the region in Mexico, there
- exist several different styles to prepare it. This recipe comes
- from the Acapulco region''.
- .PP
- I am sure that you have tasted this appetizer if you have ever been to a
- beach in Mexico. It is usually served right where you are ``roasting'' in
- the sun or swimming. Yes, the fish in this recipe is raw. However it is
- ``cooked'' by marinating it in lime juice.
