Ceviche Secrets



I love ceviche. It's half the reason why I stayed here in Peru. Well that and the really really long lefts. Each country I visit has amazing food, it's one of the main joys of traveling, but Peru takes it to a whole new level. It's out of this world! Ceviche, Tiradito, Saltado, it's all so good. The other great thing is the fresh fish. Each little coastal town  (especially up north) has a pier. You can meet the fishermen as they come off their boats to buy freshly caught fish.

While I was living up north the locals taught me to cook traditional Peruvian ceviche. Lots of people have been asking me for the recipe, but you'll just have wait until the next issue of WSSM.

To accompany the article  I shot a Ceviche cooking segment for the mag. It was a blast running around the local market filming and buying ingredients. Except the security guys at the market place told us we couldn't shoot, so we tried to sneak around incognito. I ended up behind the counter at the fish stand doing an impromptue live cooking show as the vendor taught me to prep fillets for ceviche.

Here's a few snap shots from the video.
