Ceviche is a dish made with raw fish that is marinated in citrus juices, typically lime or lemon juice. The acid causes the proteins in the fish to denature, which changes the texture and “cooks” the fish. Escabeche, on the other hand, is a dish in which cooked fish (or other meats) are marinated in a vinegar-based sauce, typically with onions, peppers, and other seasonings. The fish is often fried or grilled before being added to the marinade. So the main difference is that ceviche uses raw fish and a citrus marinade, while escabeche uses cooked fish and a vinegar-based marinade.
