Our key ingredients include:
Fresh Seafood - striped bass, scallops, and shrimp provide the base of our ceviche.
Lime Juice - this is the 'cook' in our uncooked dish, 'cooking' the fish through citric acid.
Aji Amarillo Paste - a vibrant Peruvian chili pepper paste adds heat and a unique fruity flavor.
Red Onions - they provide a pungent kick and crunchy texture.
Corn Kernels - sweet corn adds a delightful, contrasting sweetness.
Choosing the Perfect Fish
For the best ceviche, always choose fresh, sushi-grade fish. Striped bass is our primary choice for its firm, mild texture that holds up well in the lime marinade.

However, you can experiment with other types of firm, lean fish like sea bass, halibut, or even mahi-mahi.
The Importance of Lime Juice
The lime juice in ceviche not only adds a zesty, citrus zip but also 'cooks' the fish through a process called denaturation. The acid in the lime juice changes the structure of the fish proteins, turning the flesh firm and opaque, similar to the effect of heat?
As a tip, use only fresh lime juice as the store-bought kind lacks the vibrant, fresh flavor we need for our ceviche.

Preparation Techniques for a Perfect Ceviche
Preparing ceviche involves several techniques to ensure the fish is perfectly 'cooked' and the flavors are beautifully balanced.
KEY Techniques include:
Dicing the Fish Like a Pro
Dice your fish into small, even pieces. Bite-sized chunks allow for a more even 'cooking' in the lime juice and ensure each mouthful is a harmonious blend of flavors.

Tip: Cut the fish across the grain for more tender pieces.
Gradual Adding of Lime Juice
Add the lime juice gradually and toss the fish gently. This method helps prevent the fish from overcooking and ensures an even 'cooking' throughout.
We recommend letting the fish marinate in the lime juice for 15-20 minutes before adding other ingredients.
