corvina traditional
This recipe epitomizes what a great ceviche should be—crunchy, sweet, savory, tart, and rich all inone bite. Corvina, a type o sea bass, is the most widely used fsh in South America or ceviche, andis very orgiving or the novice. Its frm, lean esh holds up better to acid and is easy to either thinlyslice or dice.The combination o sweet potato and raw marinated fsh is common in Peru, although there the potato might be roasted whole, sliced, and served anned at the edge o a plate o ceviche similar tothis crunchy, tart version. As you eat the marinated fsh, pull away bites o sweet potato rom theedge o the dish and enjoy both components at once. Don’t be swayed to leave out the sweet potatogarnish—you must try both the tart, frm fsh and the potato in the same bite to really understandand savor how they work together. Letover sweet potatoes make a great side dish or spicy oods.
