Pescado a la chorrillana

Pescado a la chorrillana is a traditional seafood dish that originates from Lima. The main ingredient of this dish is fish, typically a white-fleshed fish like corvina or sole. The fish fillet is seasoned and then fried until it's golden and crispy on the outside while remaining tender inside.


The distinctive feature of this dish is the flavorful sauce that accompanies the fried fish. This sauce is made from a combination of onions, tomatoes, garlic, aji peppers, and various seasonings. The ingredients are sautéed together until they meld into a rich and slightly spicy mixture.


The dish offers a mix of textures, from the crispiness of the fried fish to the softness of the sautéed onions and tomatoes. The sauce provides a kick from the aji peppers, balanced by the sweetness of the onions and the acidity of the tomatoes.
