Tiritas pescado is a traditional dish originating from the Guerrero region, and it is especially popular in the Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo area. The dish is usually prepared with fish such as snapper, sailfish, or marlin that is cut into strips, then combined with lime juice, onions, pepper, salt, and chili peppers.

After the fish has been marinated, it is typically garnished with coriander and served with tortilla chips on the side. Most seaside restaurants offer tiritas pescado as an appetizer, while local boat captains often prepare it for tourists on fishing trips.
