Concepts
Fish and shellfish are not always cooked before eating. Especially seafood in cocktails like Shrimp Cocktails, Lobster Cocktail, Fish Cocktail, along with a whole company of sauces. But in some countries, such as Japan , Peru , Korea , and even in Cuba , there is a certain tradition of eating these raw marine products, that is, not gone through cooking or lightly boiled. However, they are cooked or “cured” in an acidic medium.
No fish, except for the so-called black meat, needs a marinade time of more than an hour and, as a general rule, 15 minutes in the acid medium are sufficient. And there are some recipes that only take a little salt before going through the fire.
But there is an abysmal difference between the escabeche and the ceviche. In the pickle concept, the parts or wheels are gilded in fat (preferably oil) and then exposed to the acidic seasoned medium. In the case of ceviche, as we will see, the first is the acidic medium and but they almost never see fire.

Crab ceviche
Peruvian Ingredients for 4 people
- 4 crabs or equivalent crab mass
- 6 lemons
- 1 ajílimo
- Salt
Preparation This ceviche is very tasty, but it is very difficult to eat it. Therefore, it is generally served as an accompaniment or component of mixed ceviche. Well, first, we thoroughly clean the crabs, removing all the sand. Next, we remove the shell, starting at the back, opening forward and cleaning the crab’s body from gills (gills look like ashy gray tabs). Next, we crush (hit to crack the outer shell) the rest in a rustic way, doing the same with the tongs and legs. We add salt and the juice of the lemons. To get the typical ceviche itch, add finely chopped limo pepper. Let it marinate for 20 minutes. It is recommended to serve together with a mixed ceviche, as a complement.
