Peruvian Ceviche is NOT Cooking Fish in Lime Juice

[@UnbeLISAble]

“Ceviche is not a recipe, it’s a concept” that’s excellent advice! I needed to hear it because I’ve been searching for the most traditional recipe and finding so much variety. Now I realize I should just be making the ceviche I enjoy the most. Thanks!

[@TheXfams]

Of all of the videos I have been watching on how to make fish ceviche, this has been, by far, my absolute favorite. Thank you so much. Clear, concise, knowledgeable, and finally someone who says everything that is available and closest to what would be used in the traditional dish. Fresno chillies... and farm raised Branzino... Thank you so much!!!

[@TheApplianceDirect]

Is it just me or did she use the words "I'm going to show you a VERSION of ceviche" and never claimed to be making Peruvian ceviche?

[@smartinez9818]

I’d like to know how many of you actually listened to what she was saying ?! She was talking about how true Peruvian ceviche is served immediately & not marinated in lime juice . Recipes vary by the chef . Swallow your pride and not freak out because she’s not making it like how your grandma or tia makes it.

[@ColocasiaCorm]

THANK YOU.

[@lauriebennett6257]

Thanks! A voice of reason! ☺

[@MrBraffZachlin]

no, the fact is she is overstating it without eve understanding what is happening. peruvian limes are more acidic so they serve it within 2 min but it is still cooking none the less. 2 min in a peruvian lime or say a key lime happens faster than standard persian lime we all get in usa. also she cut it non traditionally and thinner which would cook it even faster

[@jeffstanley4593]

Do any of you Peruvian cevichers (sic) have a channel that you could show how it is done? I mean, you all say this is not right but offer no solutions.

[@willangeltkd]

Jeff Stanley since you are interested you should learn spanish and find all the videos in the net. And yes, cebiche has no tomato or OIL! That's blasphemy for us!!! Take care bro!

[@susanalaserna1873]

Just look for peruvian ceviche, and if you see these 5 main ingredients, that’s it: peruvian lemon, fresh fish, red onions, sweet potatoes, peruvian corn ( white). Make sure it doesn’t have: TOMATOES OR AVOCADO. Then is not peruvian.

@@MrBraffZachlin exactly why not tomatoes in ceviche nor olive oil plums god knows! NO

[@lewisnostredame5605]

The people hating on her recipe simply don't understand the art of creating and re-creating traditional dishes. Making them your own is what makes food truly special, that's literally how restaurants attract so many people, by innovating. Having said that, please do not use plums or tomatoes on Peruvian-style ceviche, specially if you're a beginner. Try mango and avocado instead. Everything else looks superb. I make it very similarly, except no olive oil (although looks very good). I use Habanero hot sauce which it is extremely similar to what Peruvians use down in Miami, and for my protein I actually use Mahi Mahi! Who would've thought, right? Mahi Mahi gives a small but delicious twist of sweetness to the Ceviche, and it actually "cooks" much faster than other fish. Also much easier to find in normal grocery stores, and not just farmer's markets!

[@angelmendez5037]

Sorry, I never heard about a Ceviche with plum or tomatoes and I'm from Peru. If you're trying out your own variation, I guess it's fine, but please make a specification in the title or video description about it.

[@rodrigof5002]

she explained it inderectly when she described cebiche as a concep and not a recipe, im peruvian too

[@rsktulu]

There are few places near Piura, which use tomatoes, not my favorite, but they do use some. Now, peppers? Plums? Radishes? Definitely not Peruvian. At least she is making the effort to communicate to the world of you tube, about the best ceviche of the world. Peruvian ceviche, the one and only.

[@smartinez9818]

[@yay-cat]

I just ordered ceviche and didn’t know what it was. The description just said fish with a bunch of things. I was kind of mortified because I was expecting my fresh line caught hake to be flaky and opaque. The flavors and surrounding bits were very nice but I couldn’t eat the fish. I’m from the desert and just didn’t grow up eating fish so I can’t deal with the texture of sushi. I’m here because i’m googling my lunch 😹

[@jocelynrivas2144]

It sounds fantastic I have not seen Branzino in Vancouver, Canada I will look for it Any other suggestions? Sea bass?

[@helenrennie]

black bass, fluke, snapper all work, but they are wild, so you have to be careful with parasites and branzino is farm raised, so the parasite risk is extremely low.

[@ColocasiaCorm]

"today I'll show you A version of ceviche." God all these ignoramuses. "That's not Peruvian ceviche." Yes. Thank you for stating the obvious.

6:45 Did you just say "Deep fried fish roe"? This is the first time I heard someone fry up fish eggs. Are they battered before frying? Because frying delicate fish eggs doesn't sound like a good idea to me. They are likely to burst or be burnt by the hot oil. EDIT - I love you videos!

[@helenrennie]

This wasn't like salmon roe where each egg is individual. This was the roe from sole, so it was a large sack or tiny eggs (you could barely taste each one individually). It looked like they cut the sack into bite-size pieces, floured them, and deep fried it.

Yes. I wouldnt even go for any specific fish. Just go to the highest quality fish dealer in your area and ask what can be eaten raw and go from there. If you really dont have access to a fish market that has a guy confident enough to say you can eat anything they have raw, try scallop ceviche.

[@bluvi9319]

Recipes come differently, not familiar with those fish you mentioned and don’t they’re available here in the the US, some said, use white fish maybe Atlantic Cod but they’re frozen, so, I’ll just use shrimps and cut them in small pieces and use the same ingredients except plums but it might be good because it’s Peruvian, I’m familiar with Mexican though.

[@andregilberg4345]

Peruvian Ceviche is not Peruvian Ceviche if it doesn’t have celery (juiced), ginger (juiced), rocoto, lime, salt, pepper, cumin, ají amarillo, cilantro. Period. Every other type people want to make is ok if making just a fusion ceviche. The ability above ingredients are however the basic of the basic and necessary for it to come out right in addition to what order and how you make it. Also certain limes if not tart enough will make it turn out without the zip on the tongue that people love as its flavor. I owned a restaurant in Peru and cooked commercially there for many years. What is wrong here is that Ceviche in Peru is not served immediately. The fish changes in color from semi-transparent to solid white and that is how you know that the reaction of the lime has made it to that point where it is to be served. Then you adorn the plate as you see fit with sweat potato, lettuce leaf, cancha, and plantain chips as well as Peruvian corn, choclo.

[@cecygraciela5892]

snapper will be a bit chewier, but it could work. just be aware that snapper is wild, so it might contain parasites. if you know what to look for (most home cooks don't), you can inspect it and remove parasites if you find them. Given the fact that branzino is both tastier and safer, I don't see a reason to go with snapper.

[@juanjoserivasgarcia2336]

Olive oil is not part of Cebiche at all, sorry, and that is because the taste will not mix up. We avoid anything about oil at our many cebiche recipes, sorry, cause it will cover the freshness flavor from the fish and the juicy mixture. The Chips are good, it something we actually add at some recipes. But better try this: sweet potato (camote) and bath it with some kind of sutil honey, not too sweet or it will be too much. At Peru we could use something called Chancaca's Honey, but I doubt you could found that at US. If you found the perfect amount of sweetness, the combinatio of opossite flavors will be a party at your mouths. :) And I Forgotted, NO TOMATOES, thats terrible, thats not cebiche!!

[@arame29]

Expert presentation. However, I would not use farm raised fish under any circumstance. They are fed puppy chow, are loaded with pestcides and polluntants, and therefore do not contain EFA's. Alternatively, I would use frozen fish, as freezing kills parasites. Also, as the video shows, all vegetables should be cut very thin. Animal protein is digested in the stomach by the enzyme pepsin. It does not need to be chewed. On the other hand, vegetables are broken down by salivary amylase in the mouth, and must be chewed until liquified. The paradox is, if you chew the fish down to a liquid, it will taste terrible. But if you swallow unchewed vegetables, it is a guarantee of stomach upset. As an alternative, you could keep the fish and vegetables seperate.

Hace 2000~4000 años, en la costa norte del Perú, los pueblos que formaban la Cultura Moche preparaban un plato que fue el origen del actual Cebiche Peruano Este potaje tenía como ingredientes pescado fresco macerado en jugo de tumbo, una fruta de origen local y estaba acompañada de rodajas de ají mochero y varias hierbas. El tumbo fue uno de los primeros ingredientes para preparar este manjar. Los incas usaron chicha de maíz. Fueron los españoles que trajeron el limón y cebolla. los antiguos nativos de la Costa Peruana tenían la costumbre de comer el pescado semi crudo. También existen 🇪🇸crónicas de los conquistadores españoles que describen a los nativos de La Costa comiendo el pescado semi crudo con sal y ají. 🇲🇽El cronista Mexicano Pedro Gutiérrez de Santa Clara también escribió en sus “Guerras Civiles del Perú” (1544-1548), que los nativos del Perú comían pescado semi crudo con fruta ácidas.
