A list of all peruvian SEA food?!


Question: A list of all peruvian SEA food?
Sea food only. I know of ceviche... but what are other sea food Peruvian cuisines?

Answers:

Here are a few popular dishes

Choros a la Chalaca (Callao-style Mussles)
Fresh mussels, steamed, chilled and served on the half-shell, covered in a chunky sauce a little like salsa but not as watery. It generally consists of chopped onion, tomato, peppers, corn, cilantro and garlic all mixed with lime juice. Appetizer or by itself as a mid-afternoon snack washed down with a cold beer.

Picante de Camarones (Spicy Shrimp Chowder)
Prepared with fresh shrimp, peppers, tomatoes, cream, wine, paprika and garlic. The chowder itself is rounded out with any number of ingredients, which may include any combination of walnuts, hard-boiled eggs, olives, potatoes and cheese. You’ll also see variations on this dish, such as “picante de mariscos” (mariscos=seafood) which contains not only shrimp but also squid, fish, shellfish and other bits of seafood.

Conchitas a la Parmesana (Parmesan Scallops)
Served on the half shell and seasoned with salt, pepper, wine, butter, Worcestershire sauce and Parmesan cheese. Often served as an appetizer.

Parihuela (Seafood Soup)
Thick soup made of every type of seafood imaginable: shrimp, crayfish, mussels, squid, scallops, fish…you name it. You’ll even find parihuela made with rays and skates (think stingray)! The secret is the omission of water or oil when cooking: a true parihuela uses only the juices from the seafood itself to make its own stock. Non-seafood ingredients include onion, garlic, wine, tomatoes, oregano and hot pepper. Parihuela is rumoured to have almost magical powers of rejuvenation: many eat it after a long night of drinking or even as an aphrodisiac! ;)

Guten Appetit.
