Unlike its Peruvian neighbor, Ecuadorian ceviche comes with a saucy, tomato-kissed marinade and a generous pile of crunchy sides: popcorn, chifles, and tostado. Born on the fishing coasts of Guayaquil, it is a sunny, citrusy bowl that is equal parts appetizer, lunch, and beach-day ritual.
A saucy, citrus-bright bowl with all the crunch
The fish is barely cooked, so it stays silky and firm, while the tomato-orange-lime sauce keeps every bite juicy and tangy. Pickled red onion adds bite, cilantro brings freshness, and the ritual of scooping it all up with popcorn and chifles makes each spoonful a little party.
