Cerviche is a light ocean fish (Sea Bass is common) "cooked" by marinating in
an acidic juice, usually lemon juice.  It is a native food in Central and
South America.  Quite delicious.  But, as has been pointed out, the lemon juice
"cooking" is no guarantee that parasites won't be encountered :-(
Incidentally, it's pronounced "Sar" as in Sara, "Vee", "Che" as in Guevera.
