Great video, thanks for sharing! I use this exact recipe when I make ceviche. I've eaten his ceviche fresh right after he made it, and it's the best I've ever had! The key is to salt the fish first to draw out some liquid, that way when the lime juice hits it, the fish absorbs the juice, and "cooks" it instantly. Also, keeping the ceviche as cold as possible really makes it taste fresher.

Oh yeah, there's also a really nice contrast of cold ceviche and warm tortilla chips from the fryer. Mmmmmmmm!
 
LOL so Youtube does have slow-mo, you can slow the video and audio down. It even has subtitles. and you can chose what language your subtitles are in! Pretty cool. the english captions are pretty bad...even the spanish ones aren't great.
 
so i'm still stuck lol
 
So I watched this show about leche de tigre with Gaston Acurio, and started craving leche de tigre badly. I decided to follow his recipe for leche de tigre to a T when I made ceviche last night.



I used all of the ingredients he uses, except the celery leaf, because all of the celery at the store had the leaves cut off already.



The end result was amazing. I sliced up some aji oro to top it, and tossed in some roasted canchitas.

Crunhiness offsets the texture of ceviche perfectly. I'm all about peruvian style canchitas, which are toasted cancha corn. Almost like corn nuts. They sell bags dried for like $2 at the local international market. A little oil, a pan and some salt can turn them into delicious texture bombs for ceviche.
 
Yes, the corn nuts are a must. But also for me tortilla chips are a must... which you won't find at Pervian joints lol, but I like to "chip and dip" my ceviche, it's so damn good!

I'm down with the tortilla chips too, but that is 100% a Mexican thing for ceviche. Peruvians make the best ceviche IMO, but I think a chip scoop option for the fish, leche de tigre, and onions would be a perfect cross collab between their styles.
