N. St. Mary's, San Antonio, Tx NOTE: Ceviche, or Seviche, comes originally
from Polynesia and has undergone changes that make it a Mexican dish.
Mexicans perfer to use fat fish as mackerel or pompano for ceviche. Limes
are preferred, although lemons may be used, since both contain the citric
acid that "cooks" the fish. (According to Elisabeth Lambert Ortiz, The
Complete Book of Mexican Cooking) Posted by Clarence Fontish.
