In Lima, you can buy bags of seafood mix, but if you have a hard time finding them, get a variety of clean seafood and combine it as you like. This ceviche takes three ingredients not usually found in a Peruvian ceviche: olives, tomato and avocado. The combination is excellent and the flavors mix very well. But, since it’s all a matter of taste, you can omit any of them and the result will still be great. The secret here is using the fast-cooking method for the seafood, so that the final product is very tender. Keep in mind that overcooking will cause it to get hard and that will ruin the dish.

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    Serve on a plate with the avocado as a base and cover with the preparation.
  • tip 2
    Eating raw or acid “cooked” seafood has a greater food safety risk than eating properly heat cooked products. Be sure to purchase the freshest seafood from a dependable source when you make your ceviche at home.
