Frida Ceviche
Mix ceviche or (tiritas de pescado) fish strips adding octopus, cucumber, shrimp, salt, and a little pinch of Mexican oregano.
From Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo, in the state of Guerrero, where it is usually prepared using sailfish or marlin, the fish is finely sliced into small 2-inch stripes of about (for fish 5.25 ounces) 1/4 inch in thickness.
- 4 ounces of octopus
- 4 large shrimp
- 1 tiger shrimp
- 2 slices of avocado
- 1 cup of red onions or less
- 4.25 ounces of cucumber
- 1/2 cup of fresh lime
- Salt, pepper, oregano (to taste)
Quickly marinate with lime juice and then mix with red onion slices, and cucumber, and seasoned with oregano, salt, and pepper.
Traditionally served with corn tostadas or saltine crackers, it is very similar to ceviche but in Frida West Hartford adding shrimp, and octopus.
