The key to a delicious crab ceviche is using the freshest and highest quality crab meat available. The crab is typically marinated in a mixture of lime or lemon juice, along with other ingredients such as onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and chili peppers for added flavor and heat. The acidity from the citrus juice not only adds a refreshing tang to the dish, but it also helps to tenderize the crab meat, giving it a delicate and succulent texture. The combination of fresh crab meat and the vibrant flavors of the marinade make crab ceviche a popular and sought-after dish for seafood lovers around the world.
