Tiradito

Tiradito is a traditional dish consisting of thinly sliced, well-chilled raw fish, chopped vegetables, and coriander, all drizzled with lime juice right before consumption, so the fish stays raw, unlike ceviche, where the fish is already cooked in citrus juices.

The dish is most often served as an appetizer, and some cooks like to add their own touch – topping it with sliced onions, pickled jalapeños, boiled corn, and even crushed potato chips. It is believed that it takes a lot of skill and effort to make a perfect tiradito, but the most essential components while preparing it are a sharp knife and the freshest possible fish, which is the highlight of every tiradito.
